Casablanca's Ragged Glory
Casablanca is the biggest city in Morocco weighing in with 3.8 million people. It is the commercial capital of the country so it is more of an everyday functional city. It certainly isn't what your minds eye would conjure up of Casablanca, given the romanticism associated from that movie.
There are many classic old buildings in the city core from the time of the French Protectorate. Hopefully they are restored before they crumble to the ground or demolished.
Boulevard Houphoet Boigny - Casablanca
Place 16 Novembre - Casablanca
Some of these buildings are in need of restoration, and some are almost in ruins, like the once glorius Hotel Lincoln, which is covered in scaffolding awaiting a saviour.
