Live the Casablanca-Settat experience

Touristic guide

Gille Deleuze said that "only art is an act of resistance." This is a cinema that resists, and which has continued to welcome Casablancan film lovers since 1929, with a rich and eclectic program.

Architectural and historical heritage

Located right on Mohammed V Boulevard, the building does not go unnoticed: its 14-meter-high dome and immense balcony make it a unique place. Designed by architect Pierre Jabin, the Rialto is an architectural emblem of the Art Deco movement, and constitutes another piece in the great puzzle of downtown Casablanca, a true open-air museum. Give yourself the pleasure of being amazed when you enter the cinema where the posters hanging on the walls bear witness to a glorious past. Chet Baker, Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour and many other international and local stars filled this cinema, which was once also a theater and a concert hall. All the major Moroccan theater companies performed there, thanks to its hall, which can accommodate up to 1,350 spectators. The Rialto was then one of the most popular places in the city and represented the social gathering where all of Casablanca was displayed.

A Cinema to Preserve

The Rialto still stands, carrying Casablanca's history high, not only as the economic capital of the kingdom, but also as the cradle of numerous architectural gems and places of cultural and historical interest. The theater offers a variety of films, from American to European, Arab, and Moroccan sources. Completely renovated, it is equipped with the latest projection and sound technology. We can only encourage you to visit this cinema. Attending a screening is both a multi-sensory artistic experience and an act of resistance. Because yes, the Rialto, a historical monument and architectural gem, deserves to be preserved and continue to enchant lovers of the seventh art.
