Russian Orthodox Church in Casablanca

The Russian Orthodox Church features traditional architectural elements with white exterior walls and blue domes that reflect both Russian and Moroccan influences.

Built in 1958 through the efforts of Russian emigrants, the church became directly under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarch in 1972.

The church interior contains frescoes created by Moscow artists between 2010 and 2011, displaying traditional Orthodox religious imagery and symbolism.

Located in central Casablanca, the church provides religious services primarily for Russian speakers and Orthodox Christians visiting or residing in Morocco.

The structure stands as one of only two remaining Russian Orthodox churches in Morocco, marking the presence of early 20th-century Russian immigration.
