Rabat is the capital of Morocco, and it is also the capital that does not have much sense of existence, because many people know Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez or Chefchaouen, but it is really little known about Rabat. Rabat, on the verge of the Atlantic, is one of the four largest imperial cities in Morocco with Fes, Marrakech and Meknes. It has been the political capital of Morocco since 1912. In the glory of the 12th century, the King of Morocco planned to build a largest mosque in North Africa in Rabat. The legendary mosque covers an area of 25,000 square meters, with 19 halls and 480 pillars, and the minaret is 80 meters high. But the mosque was not finished yet, and the king was blissful. The mosque under construction was also unfinished. Only the miniature version of the minaret was barely finished, and it was reduced to 44 meters. This is the current Hassan Tower. In 1755, a famous earthquake with Lisbon as the epicenter caused the unfinished mosque to escape the catastrophe. All the mosques that had not yet been completed collapsed, leaving only 312 high and low pillars and minaret.
