Description

Place Mohammed V Laid out as the Place de France in 1920, then renamed as Place des Nations Allies after WWII, this imposing square has finally come to be known as Place Mohammed V. Undisputedly the heart of Casablanca, its arcades are lined with bustling cafés and souvenir shops while the impressive clock tower keeps time over the hustle and bustle. Running off the square, towards the busy port, is the well-known shop and restaurant-lined boulevard, Houphouët Boigny. This is where you'll find a memorial to Sidi Belyout, Casablanca's present patron saint.
