Casablanca Cathedral
Casablanca Cathedral (, ), or Church of the Sacred Heart (, ), is a former Roman Catholic church located in Casablanca, Morocco.

History 
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. It has hosted numerous art exhibitions. The Institut Français in Casablanca even organized an electronic music night inside the nave of the former church on October 10, 2015.

Architecture 
The church was designed by French architect Paul Tournon, using the Art Deco style. 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.
