The Hassan Tower is considered the symbol of Rabat and is one of the most famous sites in the kingdom. The Hassan Tower remains the only vestige of what was to be, at the instigation of the Almohad sultan Yacoub Al Mansour (12th century), the largest mosque in the Muslim world. This oversized project did not survive the sultan’s death in 1199, nor the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. Only its 44-meter-high minaret, whose architecture is very similar to that of the Koutoubia in Marrakech and the Giralda in Seville, remains and gives the monument its name: the Hassan Tower.
