The city of Rabat was established to be a gathering point for the mujahideen in it and to respond to attacks on them, and the city was in the era of Abdul Mumin, a fortified castle to protect the army, and in the era of Yacoub Al-Mansour, the city of Rabat became the capital of his state, and he fortified it with impregnable and towering walls to protect it, and he also built and constructed many buildings.
