MARRAKECH
The Medersa Ben Youssef was a koranic school and dates from 16th century. The picture above represents the central courtyard, used for all the washing before praying. The school was built by the Saadians and named after a 12th century Almoravid sultan.
Arcades, doors, ceilings are decorated with geometric decorations.
Tiles, carvings and wood engravings are all over the place.
Some decorations have words in arabic with coram references.
In Islamic countries it's forbidden to use representations of human beings.
Student room's are situated up stairs and they are very basic cells, used only to pray and to sleep. There are two kinds of rooms with capacity for 1000 students.
The Dar M'Nebhi Palace was built in the 19th century and hosts a collection of moroccan art.
