Histoire & patrimoine
Rabat became a major Almohad site in the 12th century and later developed as an Alaouite and modern Moroccan political centre. It became the capital of Morocco in 1912, and the historic core, including the Kasbah of the Udayas and Hassan Tower area, reflects several layers of the city's past.
