The Hassan Tower is a stunning minaret located in Rabat, Morocco’s capital city. Built in the late 12th century by Sultan Ya’qub al-Mansur, it was meant to be the tallest minaret in the world, part of a grand mosque that was never completed after the sultan’s death.
Standing 44 meters tall, this red sandstone tower showcases beautiful Almohad architecture with intricate designs and a powerful historical presence. Around the tower, you can explore the ruins of the vast mosque that was planned, featuring more than 200 columns.
Nearby, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V houses the tombs of Morocco’s former kings and is a masterpiece of Moroccan artistry and architecture.
Visiting Hassan Tower offers a fascinating glimpse into Morocco’s past and a chance to enjoy one of Rabat’s most iconic landmarks.
