United Nations Square — Attraction in arrondissement de Sidi Belyout مقاطعة سيدي بليوط

First of all. They said that too many cooks spoil the broth. In fact this proverb applies mainly to the city of Casablanca. This lovely city used to be the hub of many international figures and politicians. Mostly all the international event have been held in Casablanca. But from the time of the Arab uprising. Casablanca knew a decline in its infrastructure. Wherever you might go. There is filth and there is low organization. Poor services at all levels. Even in the heart of Casablanca (Sidi Belyout) Where the whole administrations of the state are located you may see that part of the city is living in chaos. Concerning the square of the United Nations, this place used to be the bright side of Casablanca where I used to sense the French romance of civilization. Now with the tram line is on. No végétations can be seen. Only some broken chairs and the whole scene is open for cafes downside you will find barriers telling you that some constructions are being carried out. In front of you there is the Hayat Regency hotel standing high as a symbol of the city's capitalism. The globe is worn out. There is only traffic jam and nothing interesting is there to see. Oh don't worry you'll come across some sellers who sell Moroccan traditional sweets. They are wearing white uniform to convince you that everything is clean. I hope this place can be taken by the United Nations so as it can get back some of the bright it had before, jews, christians and muslims were implementing a real model of harmony in this place. corruption and the late process of making the projects is really disturbing. This way you are killing tourism in Casablanca...

The space currently occupied by United Nations Square was formerly the site of the Grand Souk (Souq Kbir), a huge area at the entrance to Casablanca’s Medina. The arrival of the French in the early twentieth century saw a renewed expansion of the city, and spaces such as this were changed forever. So, in 1918, a very typical symbol of French cities was built in the area around the clock tower. The space would be named Square of the Clock (later changed to Square of France), and was to be the beginning of the city’s urban development, led by the architect Henri Prost. Examples of new buildings added to the square were the Excelsior Hotel and the Paris-Maroc department store, the new city’s first building. Old and new Casablanca merged at the clock tower, which disappeared in 1948 (to be replaced with a replica in 1993).
