Casablanca

Casablanca is the largest city of Morocco and its chief port, on the Atlantic coast. Rebuilt in the 18th century on the site of the ruined town of Anfa, it was bombarded and occupied by France in 1907, and under the protectorate Resident-General Hubert Lyautey developed its modern port and planned European city. It was the scene of the Casablanca Conference of January 1943 between Roosevelt and Churchill.
