Construction of the new Rabat began in 1184, the Almohad walls and gates, only remains of a great capital project of the Almohad Caliphate of that time. The city also includes the “new city”, designed and built between 1912 and 1930, which includes the royal residence and the centre of the current city… The ‘New Town’ is one of the largest and most ambitious urban projects of the 20th century in Africa, and probably the most extensive.
