Unless you like pigeons, the main attraction to see at Mohammed V Square is the square’s fountain and the architecture of the surrounding buildings, added in the 1920s and 1930s. The square’s buildings—the Wilaya Building, Central Post Office, and Courthouse—blend Moorish Revival and art deco architectural styles.

Visiting the square in the evening can be nice as colored lights illuminate the Mohammed V Square Fountain, and it’s generally a little less busy than in the daytime. Avoid going in the early afternoon as it'll be hotter, and the light may be harsh for taking photos.

You won’t find many attractions around Mohammed V Square, with the main options being the neo-Gothic Sacred Heart Cathedral, the immense Arab League Park, and the art deco Villa of Arts. Otherwise, travel past the United Nations Square (Place des Nations Unies) to the Old Medina of Casablanca (Ancienne Medina).

It depends. If you’re interested in architecture, photography, or just getting a broader sense of Casablanca, then visiting Mohammed V Square can be worthwhile. It’s also a convenient place to stop on the way to attractions such as the Église Notre Dame de Lourdes and the Royal Palace.
