Settat (Arabic: سطات, romanized: siṭṭāt) is a city in Morocco between the national capital Rabat and Marrakesh.

Settat is located 83.9 km (52.1 mi) by road south of the centre of Casablanca, roughly an hour's drive.

By choosing to build the Kasbah on the hilly site of Settat, 18th century Moroccan ruler Moulay Ismail would trigger the process of urbanization.

[citation needed] Settat became an administrative center in the early 18th century, due to its strategic position as an unavoidable passage between North and South.

This prosperity lasted until the early fifties when, as a result of the development of Casablanca, communications, and transportation, the city of Settat and other towns in the region have entered a period of semi-lethargy.
