About Casablanca  Satellite view is showing Casablanca, the country's chief port at the north west coast of  Morocco. The city, then known as Anfa, was founded and settled by Amazigh (Berber) in the 10th century BC, it was used as a trading port by the Phoenicians, and later run for some times by the Romans. The port town was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1468, the Portuguese returned to the area in 1515, and built a new town called Casa Branca (“White House”), maybe because the site would have been a convenient watering stop for the new Portuguese India armadas, dispatched on an annual basis from Portugal to India. Anfa was abandoned in 1755 after a devastating earthquake. The old Medina was fully rebuilt in 1757 by Mohammed ben Abdallah, then Sultan of Morocco.  Port of Casablanca.
