Hassan Tower ( Tour Hassan ) is the minaret of an incomplete mosque. Begun in 1195 the tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world, the mosque was also intended to be the world's largest, but construction stopped in 1199 on the death of Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour. The tower only reached 44m (140ft) about half of its intended 86m (260ft) height. The rest of the mosque was also left incomplete, only the beginnings of several walls and 200 columns were constructed. | Hassan Tower in capital city of |
