Description
This model was designed by Dany Sánchez.
The Hassan Tower is an unfinished minaret in the Moroccan capital city of Rabat.
Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansour, 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. However, when al-Mansour died in 1199, construction 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.
It is said that the same architect that designed La Giralda in Seville, Andalusian Spain authored this tower. Both minarets were based on the Koutobia mosque from Marrakech, making all 3 towers sisters (from Wikipedia).
