EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1930, showcases an enchanting view of the unfinished Hassan Tower in Rabat, Morocco. The Hassan Tower, a masterpiece of 12th-century Moroccan architecture, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The tower, which dates back to the Almohad Caliphate, was intended to be a grand mausoleum for the founder of the dynasty, Yusuf ibn Tashfin, and his successor, Ali ibn Yusuf. However, the construction was halted due to the death of Ali ibn Yusuf, leaving the tower incomplete. The photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of the tower's intricately carved columns and pillars, which bear witness to the rich history and cultural heritage of Morocco. The view is further enhanced by the presence of tourists and sightseers, who marvel at the ancient structure, adding a touch of modernity and vibrancy to the scene. The image also reveals the growing popularity of tourism in Morocco during the 1930s, with cars and their passengers stopping to take in the breathtaking view. The Hassan Tower, with its unparalleled beauty and historical significance, continues to be a major tourist attraction in Rabat and a source of pride for the Moroccan people. This photograph not only captures the essence of Moroccan history and architecture but also highlights the enduring allure of the country's ancient wonders.
