Hassan Tower, a partially completed minaret of an unfinished mosque, now represents part of a World Heritage Site. Started in 1195, the minaret was half its intended height when its founder Sultan Yaqub al-Mansur died just before the turn of the century. The tower was left as it was, with a height of 44 m (140 ft), with work on the rest of the mosque also halted. Constructed from red sandstone, the structure has a striking appearance, its Moorish design reminiscent of towers and churches scattered across Spain. Our Rabat trip itinerary planner makes visiting Hassan Tower and other Rabat attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

This famous red sandstone landmark is a remnant of a 12th-century minaret that was supposed to be next to the largest mosque in the Muslim but was never built.

Absolutely beautiful architecture - unfortunately it was unfinished. I wonder what it would look like if it was completed. Beautiful work from flood to the walls n doors. Unable to enter the mosque if it’s not a prayer time. Nice place to take pics.

Interesting architecture and huge premises but it’s been closed , can not be visited. You can only see it partially as it’s surrounded by walls and closed fences. The location is very clean and neatly maintained. Must visit places in Rabat. No tickets needed.

One of the most impressing Moroccan architectural heritage of the Almohad time. You can enjoy a Beautiful landscape and take beautiful pictures near the minaret, the big doors, the beautiful water fountain made with the authentic Moroccan zelij. Unfortunately the place has been closed since the first state of emergency yet you still can enjoy a small garden there, take pictures with guards riding horses and feed the pigeons.

This site is really impressive. The way the culture is emphasized and the experience you can build from the prayers and chanting inside. It was definitely worth the visit!
-
Nice place, very neat and clean and location is also very nice. Surrounding landscape and gardens are very well maintained. Since there is no shelter inside, the ideal time is to visit is in the morning when it is quite cool.
