Designed in neo-Gothic, neo-Moorish style in 1930, the Église du Sacré-Cœur took more than 20 years to finish. It’s an impressive building, usually called Casablanca’s “Cathedral” even though it was never actually one (which means it was never the seat of a bishop).

French rule ended soon after it was finished, and the building no longer serves a church. It’s now used as a cultural center, concert and exhibition hall, and occasional market hall.
