The Royal Palace of Casablanca (Palais Royal) stands as a striking example of contemporary Moroccan sovereignty and architectural tradition. Unlike historical palaces open to tourists, this functioning government complex showcases Morocco's living monarchy through its exterior grandeur: gilded gates handcrafted from cast copper, geometric plasterwork in vibrant mineral pigments, and the distinctive green-glazed tile roof reserved for royal buildings. The absence of figurative art – replaced by intricate arabesques and mathematical patterns – reflects Islamic design principles where craftsmanship itself becomes spiritual expression.

Located in the Habous district, this royal palace was built in the 1920s to a design by the brothers Louis Paul and Felix Joseph Bertosio, with garden landscapes designed by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier. This royal palace was renovated during the reign of King Hassan II by French designer Andre Packard. The Royal Palace in Casablanca is considered the second most prominent royal site in Morocco after the Royal Palace in Rabat. It has been the site of many important events, as it hosted, for example but not limited to, the Fourth Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in 1984. It was also the site of Hassan II’s meeting with Pope John Paul II. In 1985, it was the first time that a Pope visited a Muslim country at the invitation of an Islamic leader. It is worth noting here that this royal palace is not open to the public
