a beautiful place that holds a prestigious background in it. The
Old Medina of Casablanca one of the places in Casablanca that
belong to the prehistoric era. Visit this historical place and
encounter the glorious past of the city. The Old Medina of
Casablanca can be termed as the remnant part of the Muslim area
of the city of Casablanca. In the year 1755, a terrifying
earthquake caused a great harm to the Old Medina and the after
effect remained from almost 15 years. Then gradually
reconstructions took place and Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah
took the charge of it. However, what you will see now, is a
product of the 19th century. The Old Medina reflects a great
combination of the Arab- Islamic and western architectural
styles. The Old Medina initially had four stonewalls. However,
now there is only one left. When you cross the gate of the Old
Medina, you will see a busy market out there. Various food shops
and spice shops are there. There is also a fishing harbor very
close to the Old Medina, Casablanca. Walking through the narrow
streets of this market is in itself a delight.
