A microcosm of Casablanca, the Central Market reflects the city’s colonial past, its struggle for independence, and the urban transformations that followed. Built in 1917 under French rule, it witnessed a key nationalist attack in 1953. Stories of its golden age, decline, and resilience have been passed down alongside the shops themselves. This sound documentary gathers and shares some of these voices.. Enjoy listening!
A summary booklet (in French) with photographs is available here
