Hassan Tower is an iconic historical landmark located in Rabat, Morocco. It is an incomplete minaret of a grand mosque that was commissioned by Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour in the 12th century. The tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world, but construction halted after the Sultan's death in 1199, leaving the structure at about 44 meters tall, roughly half of its originally intended height. The site also features the remains of the mosque, including numerous columns and walls that provide a glimpse into its grand scale.
