Arts & culture, la tour hassan.
La Tour Hassan est considérée comme le symbole de Rabat, c’est un des sites les plus célèbres du royaume. La tour Hassan reste l’unique vestige, de ce qui devait être, à l’instigation du sultan almohade Yacoub Al Mansour (XIIème siècle), la plus grande mosquée du monde musulman. Ce projet surdimensionné n’allait pas survivre, à la mort de ce dernier, en l’an 1199, ni plus tard, au tremblement de terre de Lisbonne en 1755. Seul son minaret de 44 mètres de haut, à l’architecture très proche de la Koutoubia de Marrakech et de la Giralda de Séville subsiste et donne son nom au monument : la tour Hassan.

Tour Hassan
Rabat's must-see sight – along with the neighbouring mausoleum – this iconic tower looms 44m above the Bou Regreg estuary. It was originally part of an ambitious Almohad project to build the world's second-largest mosque (after Samarra in Iraq), but its patron Sultan Yacoub Al Mansour died before it was completed. The mosque was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, and today only this tower and a photogenic forest of shattered stone pillars remains in testament to his grand plan.

About Hassan Tower
The Hassan Tower, known as ‘Tour Hassan’ in French, in Rabat, Morocco, is a grand reminder of a mosque that was never completed.
History of the Hassan Tower
The Hassan Tower is actually a 140-foot red stone minaret built during the reign of Yacoub El Mansour, a sultan of the Almohad Dynasty who ruled from 1184 AD.
Construction of the Hassan Tower began in approximately 1195 AD and was intended to result in the largest mosque on earth. The buildings were influenced by a variety of Muslin and Moorish styles, from Al-Andalus in Spain, to Marrakech and Alexandria. However, the capital of the Almohad Caliphate remained Marrakech rather than moving to Rabat.
However, only four years of construction had elapsed when the sultan died and, with him, the project. What was built of the mosque (348 columns and the beginnings of its walls) was destroyed in an earthquake in 1755.
In the 20th century, French and Moroccan archaeologists fully excavated the site and reconstructed what they could. In the 1960s, the ruins of the mosque were moved to accommodate the building of Mohammed V’s mausoleum near by.
Today several columns surround the Hassan Tower, showing the intended layout of the mosque. Indeed, even the Hassan Tower was not completed. In fact, it was supposed to double in size, although it’s already 44m tall. Inside the Hassan Tower are six levels, each with a solitary room connected by ramps to allow the muezzin to ride a horse to the top for the call to prayer.
The Hassan Tower today
The complex remains Rabat’s must-see sight – along with the neighbouring mausoleum – and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Look out for the gorgeous decorative sekba panels on the outside and be sure to visit the extremely photogenic pillar stumps. The dawn and dusk light casts a particularly lovely hue over the complex, making it the best time to visit.
Getting to the Hassan Tower
The tower is located in the Quartier Hassan, behind the Mausoleum of Mohammed V – you should be able to stroll through the grounds to it easily. It’s about 2km from Rabat’s Medina – walkable, but with some busy roads to cross. Taxis are plentiful around the medina, so hail one if the heat or chaos gets to you.

Hassan Tower: An Iconic Landmark of Rabat’s Glorious Past
Located on the western bank of the Bouregreg River, the Hassan Tower is a stunning example of Moorish and Islamic architecture and an important symbol of Morocco’s rich history. The Hassan Tower is perhaps the most iconic structure of the Moroccan capital. This tower dates back to the 12th century and is definitely worth a visit when you are in Rabat .
The tower was supposed to be the largest minaret in the world. The largest mosque in the western Islamic world should have been built on the square in front of the tower. Construction was halted after the death of Sultan Yacoub al-Mansur.
When you are in Rabat it is definitely worth visiting the Hassan Tower. A visit to the tower is free. Unfortunately, it is not possible to climb the tower.
![tour hassan a rabat Hassan Tower, Rabat](https://touristinmorocco.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_1550-edited.jpg)
History of the Hassan Tower
The tower stands on the site of an unfinished mosque that was built during the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century. The Almohads were an Islamic dynasty that ruled North Africa and Spain.
The construction of the largest minaret in the world was started in 1195 by the order of Caliph Yaqub al-Mansur. At the same time, the construction of the largest mosque was also started. The minaret had to resemble the minaret of the Kutubiyya Mosque in Marrakech. When Caliph Yaqub al-Mansur died in 1199, the financier of the mosque also passed away. Therefore, construction was halted in 1199. At that time, the tower had only reached a height of 44 meters, about half of its intended height. The mosque was also not further completed: only a few walls and about 200 columns had been built.

Visitors to Hassan Tower Morocco can immerse themselves in the grandeur of medieval Islamic architecture and gain insight into the rich history that shapes much of Morocco’s heritage
![tour hassan a rabat Hassan tower in Rabat, an iconic Moroccan landmark](https://www.story-rabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/hassan-tower3.webp)
Hassan Tower in Rabat, Morocco, stands as an emblem of the Almohad dynasty’s architectural ambition. It reflects a cultural heritage pillar and a formidable attempt to create a landmark religious edifice
Construction
Initiated by the Almohad Caliph Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur towards the end of the 12th century, the construction of the Hassan Tower was a project of grand scale, aimed at demonstrating the might and sophistication of the Almohad Caliphate. The objective was to erect not just the tallest minaret but also to encompass what would have been the world’s largest mosque. Building efforts started around 1195 but were eventually left incomplete due to the Caliph’s death in 1199.
Destruction and Preservation
While never completed, Hassan Tower has withstood the test of time enduring destruction and preservation efforts through the centuries. An earthquake in 1755 caused severe damage to the structure, collapsing much of the mosque, leaving the tower standing amidst the ruins. Notwithstanding, the truncated tower, soaring to approximately 44 meters (140 feet), has been preserved and remains a significant historical site. It was further recognized for its historical value when it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, symbolizing the timeless grandeur of Morocco’s Islamic history
Architecture
Hassan Tower in Morocco is a testament to the architectural prowess of the Almohad era, exhibiting both the grandeur of its envisioned scale and the intricacies of Moorish and Islamic designs
Design Elements
The design of Hassan Tower integrates robust geometric structures and ornamental features typical of Almohad architecture. It stands on a square base, which is quite characteristic of Moroccan minarets. The tower’s silhouette is marked by distinct corner shafts, which would have supported the height it was meant to achieve. The façade is embellished with intricate patterns, including ornamental arches and columns that showcase the precision of Almohad craftsmanship.
Visitors today can observe the horseshoe arches, a defining attribute of Almohad style. These arches not only fulfill an aesthetic function but also demonstrate engineering acumen. The red sandstone used in construction gives the minaret a distinct color, which contributed to the visual impact it would have made within the cityscape. The incomplete structure of Hassan Tower stands at approximately half of its intended height of 88 meters, yet its elegance and attention to detail remain evident and admired.
Hassan Tower holds significant symbolic weight as a cultural and historical icon. Although the mosque associated with the tower was never completed due to the death of Sultan Yacoub El Mansour, the structure’s existence speaks to the grand ambitions of the Almohad Caliphate. It was conceived to be the largest minaret in the world and a symbol of Islam’s reach and influence during the 12th century in the western Islamic world.
The minaret’s intended scale and prominence reflect the Almohad Dynasty’s aspiration to showcase Rabat as a powerful, spiritual, and administrative capital. Even unfinished, Hassan Tower stands as a powerful emblem of Morocco’s storied past and its enduring architectural heritage
![tour hassan a rabat Hassan Tower in Rabat, Morocco, during a bright day](https://www.story-rabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/hassan-tower5.webp)
Cultural Significance
Hassan Tower in Rabat is not just an architectural marvel but also a profound cultural emblem for Morocco. It encapsulates the nation’s rich history and stands as a symbol of both religious convictions and national pride.
Religious Importance
Hassan Tower is a celebrated religious landmark due to its original purpose as the minaret of an incomplete mosque. Commissioned by the Almohad ruler, Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the tower was earmarked to be the largest minaret in the world. Although the mosque remains unfinished, the minaret’s presence emphasizes Morocco’s significant Islamic heritage.
National Monument Status
Declared a national monument, Hassan Tower’s role extends beyond religion. It has indeed become an integral part of the Moroccan identity, representing a historical era that shaped the civilization. The site also works in conjunction with the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, honoring Morocco’s past monarchs and strengthening national sentiment.
![tour hassan a rabat Hassan Tower in Rabat with visitors and an ornate fountain in front of it](https://www.story-rabat.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/hassan-tower2.webp)

The Hassan Tower faces a range of issues including the preservation of its ancient structure and the integration of modern development in its vicinity.
The Hassan Tower’s longevity is threatened by environmental factors and the natural wear and tear expected with aging monuments. Efforts to preserve it require meticulous attention to the original materials and construction methods. Climate conditions, such as the saline air from the Atlantic, contribute to the erosion of the stone, requiring ongoing maintenance.
The impact of modern infrastructure on the historic fabric of the Hassan Tower’s site is a concern. There is a delicate balance between developing Rabat as a modern city and preserving the Tower’s surroundings.

Let your footsteps lead you to where your senses are aroused. A buffet is expended as a feast for the eyes and mouth is brilliantly exhibited at morning, noon and evening. It’s where a meal manifests all of its gastronomic dimensions.
There is Moroccan-spirited décor throughout, architectural detailing that inhabits and offers up attention to the locale. Take a seat under the glass roofs or in the shade, while on the terrace of The Andalusian Gardens. Being of divine magnitude, the room is all the more well-situated as its friezes and zelliges in stone lace, surround the extremities of the ceilings. If walls had eyes, one would have every reason to peruse the dishes due to such spectacular displays. The cuisine is light, yet more sophisticated according to your preferences, and you can enjoy traditional or European-inspired dishes. A royal welcome to a majestic table …
Imperial, the restaurant is well-deserving of its name.

Rabat, modern capital and historic city
Located on the Atlantic seaboard, in the northwest of Morocco, Rabat is the result of a fruitful dialogue between the Arab-Muslim past and Western modernism. The site includes the "new town", designed and built under the French Protectorate from 1912 to the 1930s, including the royal residence, colonial administrations, residential and commercial complexes. We also find old parts of the city which sometimes date back to the 12th century. The “new city” represents one of the largest and most ambitious urban projects of the 10th century in Africa, probably the most complete.
