Casablanca:Time Did Go By
If
the Hollywood image of Casablanca is important to you, prepare for a shock from
Casablanca. The city is further away from eastern romanticism (浪漫主义) than
any other in Morocco, and
Casablanca is a modem city — and beautiful in its own aspect.
Colony(殖民地) White
A
walk around Casablanca will decide clearly that Casablanca was the place that the
French colonial government gave most attention and money. The buildings are of a
French version (版本) of
Arabo-Andalucian architecture, white with soft lines, and often plenty of details.
The
area to explore is south of Avenue des Forces Arms Royales, but of special interest
is the Place des Nations Unies, which has the largest structures.
Town
Market
Right
in from the long Boulevard Muhammad 5, you will find the Marche Central of Casablanca.
The place is a small but high-quality version of the traditional suuqs of Morocco,
and everything is aiming at the needs of the locals.
The
Marche Central has vegetables, meat, all kinds of sea food, as well as handicrafts
(手工艺品).
Turtle soup should therefore be an option for those visiting Casablanca.
Old
City
The
old city of Casablanca is conveniently located — just off the main town square from
where roads lead to all directions, and off the sea. But as you enter, you will
see that it is not all that old after all, that the houses here often
have a form and size which would have made them natural features in the new parts
of many other Mococcan cities.
