The unfinished minaret surrounded by two hundred columns is Rabat's most famous monument.

The Hassan Tower and Mohamed V Mausoleum in Rabat, Morocco are the last two building projects of Sultan Yacoub al Mansour. He died during construction of the mosque and it was never finished. You can look at the mosques he built in Andalusia, Spain to get a feel for what it would have looked like. The minaret is only half as tall as planned and many of the columns have decayed, but it’s still impressive. Several pieces of the original 12th century wall remain. The roof was never installed which caused the decay. He is buried in the mausoleum across from the mosque.
