Central Post Office and Telecoms at Guéliz, the 'new town' created during the French Protectorate (1912-56). My favourite Modern building complex in Marrakech. Guéliz, Marrakech, Morocco.

South-west view of the older building of 1957-59, showing the telecoms tower which is reminiscent of the raised terrasse structures of local Moroccan architecture. Guéliz, Marrakech, Morocco.
