United Nations Square: Historic and Modern Crossroads of Casablanca

Designed in 1915 by architect Henri Prost, the United Nations Square, formerly known as Place de France, is a central link between the old medina and the new city center of Casablanca. Symbolizing the transition between the city's traditional past and modern development, it was enhanced in the 1970s by architect Jean-François Zevaco, who added an underground passage and a dome. Lined with buildings that reflect Casablanca's architectural evolution, such as the Clock Tower, rebuilt in 1994, the square embodies a harmonious blend of traditional Moroccan elements and European modernism. In 2005, a photographic exhibition by Mohamed Tangi celebrated its cultural and historical significance, reviving the collective memory of its residents. The United Nations Square is thus much more than just an urban space: it is a historical and cultural crossroads, a meeting place, and a symbol of Casablanca's ongoing evolution.
