From Essaouira I headed north along the coast to Casablanca. The city pulses with commerce and houses some wonderful fusion architecture like the Mosque of Hassan II.
Enjoy the photos!
The mosque itself is absolutely huge, not to mention costly. This beast amounted just over the 500 million Euro mark. Unreal considering the amount of slums around Casablanca. Nonetheless this Mosque is stunning both inside and out.
The inside is really the part that takes your breath away. Designed by a French architect, the mosque can house Paris's Notre Dame or Romes St. Peters Basilica.
Getting the last shot required climbing an apartment complex and standing on the rooftop. Id say it was worth it.
Next posts will be over Portugal,
