rabat is now the capital of morocco, but it was only chosen by the french in the 20th century to be a strategic city, setting up a delicate integration of the old medina with the new french city. rabat has a very special layout with physical and visual connections - the casbah is connected to the medina and the medina is connected to the new town. moreover, a strong visual connection exists between rabat and its neighbor city, salé.
