Wieża Hassana – to górujący nad Rabatem minaret.
Wieża, wybudowana pod koniec XII wieku, jest symbolem miasta. Powinien mieć 80 metrów wysokości, ale nie został nigdy skończony i osiąga 44 metry. Jest wzorem marokańskich minaretów. Minaret był częścią nieukończonego Meczetu Hassana. Prace przerwano już w roku 1199, kiedy zmarł wznoszący świątynię władca. Nieukończona budowla przetrwała aż do 1755 roku, kiedy to zawaliła się na skutek trzęsienia ziemi. Do dziś zachowały się tylko podstawy kolumn i Wieża Hassana.
The Kasbah in Udayas is located at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg, opposite Salé and adjacent to the old medina of Rabat. It is listed, along with other sites in Rabat, on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Queste colonne tronche assieme alla torre di Hassan sono i resti di una moschea rimasta incompleta, nonché uno dei simboli storici più visitati di Rabat.
Comissionata nel 1195, per ordine del califfo Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, la torre doveva essere il più grande minareto del mondo insieme alla moschea, anch’essa ideata per essere la più grande del mondo, ma nel 1199 i lavori si interruppero a causa della morte del califfo.
Di conseguenza, la torre raggiunse soltanto i 44 metri, ovvero circa la metà dell’altezza prevista di 86 metri e la moschea fu lasciata con solo una piccola parte delle numerose mura e colonne che dovevano essere innalzate.
These truncated columns together with the Hassan Tower are the remains of an incomplete mosque, as well as one of the most visited historical symbols of Rabat.
Commissioned in 1195, by order of the caliph Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the tower was supposed to be the largest minaret in the world together with the mosque, also designed to be the largest in the world, but in 1199 the work was interrupted due to of the death of the caliph.
As a result, the tower only reached 44 metres, or about half of the planned height of 86 metres, and the mosque was left with only a small part of the many walls and columns that needed to be raised.

The necropolis of Chellah, Chella or Sala Colonia is a necropolis and complex of ancient and medieval ruins which lie at the outskirts of Rabat. On this site the ancient Romans set up the outpost of Sala Colonia, which became a thriving city with several monuments. In the 13th century the Merinid sultan Abu al Hassan built a necropolis on top of the Roman site and surrounded it with defensive walls. Many of the structures in Chellah were damaged or destroyed in an 18th century earthquake.
