Old Medina of Casablanca
Old Medina of Casablanca (North-west corner of Place des Nations Unies, Casablanca) — the old Arab quarter of Casablanca is now known as the Old Medina and is located in the city center. It’s a great place for doing some exploring and offers fascinating sights of old stone houses set in winding passageways, as well as a myriad of traditional shops selling all manner of products. The lower end of the district is home to Borj Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah, a fort built in the 18th century to protect the city from offensives made by the Portuguese.
