mausolée mohammed v

Could there be a more prestigious place as the esplanade of the Hassan mosque to house the tomb of the most popular kings and sultans of Morocco, Mohammed V, the father of independence, died in Rabat following a procedure surgical February 26, 1961? 

  Ten years were needed to complete the monument designed by an architect of Vietnamese origin VO TOAN, but set in a more pure classicism. 

Slightly elevated, facing the ocean and the colonnades of the Hassan Tower, Mohammed V mausoleum is built of white Italian marble and topped with a pyramidal roof covered with green tiles, a symbol of royalty.
