  • Hassan Tower or Tour Hassan Arabic: صومعة حسان‎ is the minaret of an incomplete mosque in Rabat, Morocco. Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the third Caliph of the Almohad Caliphate in 1195, the tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world along with the mosque, also intended to be the world`s largest. When al-Mansur died in 1199, construction on the mosque stopped. The tower reached 44 m 140 ft, about half of its intended 86 m 260 ft height. The rest of the mosque was also left incomplete, with only the beginnings of several walls and 348 columns being constructed.
