Bilal

From Bilal's guidebook

The Hassan Tower in Rabat is one of Morocco’s most famous landmarks. Built in the 12th century, it was intended to be the tallest minaret in the Muslim world. Today, it stands as a symbol of history overlooking the Bouregreg River. * Built in 1195 AD by Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour. * It was meant to rise to 80 meters, taller than Marrakech’s Koutoubia and Seville’s Giralda. * Today, it stands at 44 meters, one of the largest unfinished minarets in the world. * Next to it lies the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, housing the tombs of King Mohammed V and his sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah.

Rose Thuy

From Rose Thuy's guidebook

The construction of the Hassan Tower started in the 12th century. It was intended to become the minaret for the largest mosque in the entire world. Sadly the Moroccan ruler Yacoub al-Mansour who had initiated the project died before it could be completed. In 2012 these ruins became part of the UNESCO world heritage sites and nowadays you can walk around the site and admire the beauty of the unfinished building. The beautiful and complex patterns on the tower, as well as the pillars arranged in symmetrical perfection on the ground, makes this place a must-see on your visit to Rabat!

Marouane

From Marouane's guidebook

The tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world, and the mosque, if completed, would have been the largest in the western Muslim world. When al-Mansur died in 1199, construction on the mosque stopped. The minaret was left standing at a height of 44 meters, aged 824 years. This site is open daily for all visitors and non-Muslims are welcome to enter the holy mausoleum. Generally it closes before sunset (7pm summer time)
