Casablanca in Medieval Times

Answer 1

The city known today as Casablanca was built in 1515 (after the medieval period ended in 1485) by the Portuguese on the site of ancient city of Anfa, which they had destroyed in 1468.

Since the 7th century, Anfa had been a center of piracy. The new city was called Casa Branca, Portuguese for "White House." Over the years, as it was controlled by different peoples, the fort and surrounding city became known as Casablanca (the Spanish term for "White House").
