The building recognizes itself in its square tower surmounted by a clock that we see many places in the city. The Wilaya headquarters coordinates the préféctorales activities of the Greater Casablanca region. His building was built by the French architect Marius Boyer between 1927 and 1937. By crossing the elegant lobby on the ground floor with marble-covered walls, you can reach a patio surmounted by outside arcades and corridors on two levels. The blue and green zelliges miroitent at the bottom of the water parts where sicas thrive, between fine columns with shimmering colours. In the main staircase cages with thick copper ramps, we will take a look at the two big paintings of five metres by three carried out by the painter Majorelle, to whom the creation of the famous gardens of the same name in Marrakech. Their style evokes the tradition of history paintings, although they are life scenes. One depicts a ahouach, or traditional dance of women, and the other represents a moussem, a regional religious feast.
