Church of San Buenaventura
Casablanca, Morocco
The Church of San Buenaventura is a former Roman Catholic church, located in the Medina of Casablanca, Morocco. The church was founded by Franciscans in c.1890. Built on territory Sultan Hassan I of Morocco granted to King Alfonso XII, it was the seat of the Spanish church in Casablanca from the late 19th century. It ceased to operate as a church in 1968, after which it hosted families in need. The Spanish Embassy ceded the property to the city of Casablanca. Around 2016, the 1,250-square-metre (13, 500 sq ft) site was transformed into a cultural center serving the community of the Medina.
