Huge structure. Awe inspiring! Nothing to see inside except some beautiful stained glass windows. Nothing else. Rather plain! Next to Arab League Park. They charge 50 Dirham to enter!

Saw this beautiful cathedral yesterday and was even more surprised it has become a deconsecrated public cultural center. Interestingly it's known for its white facade,and huge art deco with neo gothic and style with detailed stained glass, it even witnessed significant renovation between 2020 to 2025 to preserve its architectural value. It is definitely an iconic major landmark with an imposing appearance in Casablanca's 20th century history. It's now reduced to hosting art exhibitions, antique markets, used as childrens playground and other social events. Catholic tourism in Morocco centers on exploring a rich, albeit small, Christian heritage, featuring historic cathedrals and active churches, primarily in cities like Casablanca, Tangier, and Rabat. Visitors can attend Mass, appreciate colonial-era architecture, and experience interfaith respect. Catholic tourists make up a small, unquantified minority within Morocco’s booming tourism sector, which surpassed 17 million visitors in 2024. While Christians constitute less than 1% of the resident population (around 30,000–35,000 people, mostly sub-Saharan students and European expats), Catholic tourism is generally categorized under European or African arrivals. While the local Christian community is tiny, religious tourism is supported, and the church plays a vital role for foreign residents. Overall tourism increased 20% in 2024, with January 2026 showing a 3% rise compared to the previous year. The Sacred Heart Church (Cathédrale du Sacré-Cœur) Always loved, never forgotten An indelible memory Forever in our memories Eternally remembered A lasting impression Always in our thoughts

The exterior is beautiful and a great sight to see in the downtown area. If you visit during the summer, the cathedral along with numerous other tourist attractions have irregular hours. The cathedral interior was closed when I visited, but even just seeing the exterior was well worth a visit

This building is dominant in Casablanca’s landscape. With its pure white walls it stands out as beautiful architectural design that is timeless. It is no longer a Catholic Church but a cultural centre. When I visited, they were hosting the African E-football tournament there so the building was open.

I liked the stained glass, but other than that I wasn’t impressed by the modern use of the place, the art exhibitions were boring and somewhat vulgar, the interior was made to look tacky and uninteresting. I wouldn’t recommend visiting, despite the impressive cathedral itself.
