Poste Maroc
La Poste Centrale, Rue El Houcine Ben Ali, Casablanca 20250
Neo-Mauresque post office of ogival arches and Art Deco geometry, first building of a colonial-era administrative square.
This guide to Poste Maroc in Casablanca asks why architect Adrien Laforgue's 1918 post office, not the courts or a grand hotel, became the first finished building on planner Henri Prost's new administrative square. It follows the design's deliberate fusion of a pointed Moroccan ogival arch with rigid French Art Deco symmetry, a style another architect of the time called paradigmatic. Step inside and look for the post boxes still labeled in both Arabic and French.
