Casablanca Cathedral (French: Église du Sacré-Cœur de Casablanca), or Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (French: Église du Sacré-Cœur-de-Jésus), is a former Roman Catholic church located in Casablanca, Morocco.
The Casablanca church was constructed in 1930. The cathedral ceased its religious function in 1956, after the independence of Morocco. It subsequently became a cultural centre which is open to visitors.[1]
The church was designed by French architect Paul Tournon, using the Neo-Gothic style.[1] It is commonly referred to as a cathedral, although in reality it has never technically been one as it was never the seat of a bishop.
