In the 12th century sultan Yacoub al-Mansour decided to build the biggest mosque in the world, with the biggest tower. He died a few years later and the works were stopped, with the tower reaching 44 of its planned 86 meters high. Lisbon's earthquake damaged the started...
Chellah
solopes Says:
At a short distance from town, in a facing hill, this necropolis is one of the oldest constructions in Morocco. Abandoned for centuries, and heavily damaged by an earthquake in the 18th century, it has been recuperated and gardened, acting today as one of the main touristy...
