Al-Attarine Madrasa

The Al-Attarine Madrasa or Medersa al-Attarine (madrasat al-ʿattārīn, lit. 'school of the perfumers') is a madrasa in Fez, Morocco, near the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque. It was built by the Marinid sultan Uthman II Abu Said (r. 1310–1331) between 1323 and 1325. The madrasa takes its name from the Souk al-Attarine, the spice and perfume market. It is considered one of the highest achievements of Marinid architecture due to its rich and harmonious decoration and its efficient use of limited space. Arranged around an ornate internal courtyard, the madrasa includes a small prayer hall, an ablutions facility, and sleeping quarters.
