30/47.- Marrakech, Medersa Ben Youssef, detail

Menu

This Madrasa was built by the Saadians in the 16th century, and named after a 12th century Almoravid sultan. Next to the Coranic School sits the Mosque by the same name. Unfortunately local Mosques can only be visited by Muslims.

The decorations and the architecture of this site reminds the one of the Alhambra, in Granada (Spain).

In the picture you can see one of the windows of one of the pupil's rooms.
