History

The Casablanca church was constructed in 1930. The cathedral ceased its religious function in 1956, after the independence of Morocco. It subsequently became a cultural centre which is open to visitors.[1] It has hosted numerous art exhibitions. The Institut Français in Casablanca even organized an electronic music night inside the nave of the former church on October 10, 2015.[2]

Architecture

The church was designed by French architect Paul Tournon, using the Art Deco style.[1] It is commonly referred to as a cathedral, although in reality, it has never technically been one as it was never the seat of a bishop.
