Hassan Tower
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for
History buffs, Photography enthusiasts, Architecture lovers, Families

Om
Raske fakta: Bare omtrent 44 meter av rød sandstein rakk noen gang å reise seg mot de planlagte 86, og byggingen stoppet for godt den dagen sultanen som hadde bestilt den døde i 1199. Bønnesalen den vender mot ville ha rommet 20 000 bedende, og omtrent 200 søyler ligger fortsatt der jordskjelvet i 1755 kastet dem ned.
Høydepunkter: La fingrene gli langs de utskårne kapitelene, og du vil følge hesteskobuer og geometriske mønstre som fortsatt er skarpe etter mer enn 800 marokkanske somre. Omtrent 200 søylefotstykker ligger nøyaktig der jordskjelvet kastet dem, slik at hele esplanaden leses som et fotografi frosset midt i katastrofen.
Insidertips
- 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.
