  Hassan Tower

  The Hassan Tower is a historic and iconic unfinished minaret in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, commissioned by Sultan Yaʿqūb al-Mansur of the Almohad dynasty in the late 12th century as part of an ambitious plan to build one of the largest mosques in the world. Construction began around 1195, but after the sultan’s death in 1199, the project was left incomplete, and the tower reached only about 44 m of its intended height of around 80–86 m. The site also includes the remains of the mosque’s walls and columns, giving a sense of the original scale of the complex. Today, the Hassan Tower, built of red sandstone and featuring traditional Almohad architectural details, stands as a powerful symbol of Morocco’s rich history and architectural heritage, alongside the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V
