The Church of San Buenaventura in Casablanca, Morocco, was founded by Franciscan Catholics around 1890.[1][2] Built on territory Sultan Hassan I of Morocco granted to King Alfonso XII,[3] it was the seat of the Spanish church in Casablanca from the late 19th century.[2]
It ceased to operate as a church in 1968, after which it hosted families in need.[2] The Spanish Embassy ceded the property to the city of Casablanca.[3]
Around 2016, the 1250 m site was transformed into a cultural center serving the community of the medina.[2][4][3]
