Hassan Tower
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Arrive at opening in spring or fall, when low sun glows through the red sandstone and tour groups are thin. Golden hour before sunset suits photographers, since the tower faces west across the esplanade.
Eelarvenõuanded
Entry to the esplanade, the tower, and the neighboring mausoleum costs nothing. Skip the touts offering guided walks near the gate, everything is visible on your own, and grab bottled water from a corner shop beforehand.
Soovitatav
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, Architecture lovers, Families

Teave
Kiired faktid: Kavandatud 86 meetrist kerkis kunagi vaid umbes 44 meetrit punast liivakivi, seiskudes jäädavalt päeval, mil selle tellinud sultan 1199. aastal suri. Palvesaal, mille ees see seisab, oleks mahutanud 20 000 usklikku ja ligikaudu 200 sammast lebab siiani seal, kuhu 1755. aasta maavärin need paiskas.
Esiletõstmised: Tõmba sõrmedega mööda nikerdatud kapiteele ja tunned hoburaudkaari ning geomeetrilisi mustreid, mis on rohkem kui 800 Maroko suve järel ikka veel selged. Ligikaudu 200 sambakändu lebab täpselt seal, kuhu maavärin need paiskas, nii et kogu esplanaad on nagu foto, mis on külmunud katastroofi keskele.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Show up for the 8 am opening to shoot the esplanade before tour groups arrive.
- Fix on the long reflecting pool between the tower and the river for a clean mirrored silhouette.
- Wear a hat and sunscreen, the exposed paving stones offer no shade even in the morning.
- Add in the Mausoleum of Mohammed V next door to catch the Royal Guard in full dress uniform.
