The Central Marketplace stands out for its high, arched entrance gates and the steady hum of commerce that spills onto the sidewalk. Built in nineteen seventeen during the French Protectorate, it replaced a simple market square with a permanent structure intended to organize the city's food supply. Inside, sellers keep pyramids of colorful spices and fresh-cut flowers against a backdrop of tiles. A former market inspector once claimed the fish section here held the best catches brought into Casablanca that morning.
