Here we Go!
Ever since the 12th century, Rabat has played an important role in the history of Morocco. Beginning in 1146, the city was transformed into a massive fortress and utilized as a port to launch attacks on neighboring regions. The Medina of Rabat is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also the site of the ruins of an unfinished mosque that - as originally planned - would have been the largest in the world.
