Muhammad V Square, Central plaza in Casablanca, Morocco

The square contains numerous architectural structures, including the Court House from 1923 and Bank Al Maghreb constructed in 1937 by architect Edmond Brion.

King Muhammad V of Morocco, for whom the square is named, led the independence movement against French colonial rule and transformed this area into a symbol.

The surrounding buildings exhibit a combination of Moorish architectural elements and Art Deco design, reflecting the fusion of Moroccan and French influences.

The central location of the square provides direct access to multiple administrative buildings, cafes, shops, and transportation connections throughout Casablanca.

The Grand Post Office, completed in 1918 under architect Adrien Laforgue, stands as a primary example of Art Deco architecture within the square.
