Hassan Tower (Tour Hassan)

In the heart of downtown Rabat, the 144-foot (44-meter) Hassan Tower (Tour Hassan) rises above the river, a striking remnant of an ambitious 12th-century project. Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour initiated the construction of what was intended to be the world’s largest mosque, but an earthquake in 1755 left only the tower and rows of broken columns. Today, visitors can explore this historic site, surrounded by the silent, weathered stones that hint at the grandeur of the original vision.
