Medersa Ben Youssef, Marrakech
The Ali Ben Youssef Medersa is a Koranic School in Marrakech founded in the 14th century by the Black Sultan Adou el Hassan. It was rebuilt in the 1560s under the Saadians, whose Andalusian-influenced art dominates. Almost all surfaces are decorated. Evidently architects from Muslim Spain were employed in its construction, parts of the medersa having exact parallels in the Alhambra Palace in Granada.

مدرسة ابن يوسف بمدينة مراكش من أشهر مدارس المغرب الأقصى وهي تحفة معمارية تعود إلى عهد الدولة المرينية، شيدها السلطان أبو الحسن المريني عام 747هـ، 1346م. وهي تمتاز بتناسق عمارتها وروعة زخرفتها, تتكون من الداخل من صحن أوسط مكشوف يحفه من الجانب الجنوبي إيوان القبلة. ومن جوانبه الثلاثة الشرقية والغربية والشمالية ثلاث ظلات تحمل جميعها حجرات وسكن الطلاب، وقد جددت عمارة المدرسة في عصر السعديين، دون أن تغير شيئاً من عناصرها القديمة. .

The Medersa was for more than four centuries a home for students in search of knowledge in various sciences, including theology. It had 132 rooms for non-Marrakesh students and could accommodate up to 900 students. Opposite the entrance door, on the other side of the rectangular basin, there is the prayer room made up of three naves delimited by marble pillars supporting arches with facades carved with ornamental motifs. The central nave overlooks a small semi-circular room whose opening is sumptuously decorated with floral and geometric motifs.
MARRAKECH, EXPLORING the 14th century ISLAMIC ☪️ COLLEGE of MADRASA (MOROCCO)
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a tour of spectacular Ben Youssef Madrasa which was an Islamic college in Marrakesh, Morocco. It is the largest Madrasa in all of Morocco and it was founded during the period of the Marinid (14th century) by the Marinid sultan Abu al-Hassan and allied to the neighbouring Ben Youssef Mosque. This madrasa was one of the largest theological colleges in North Africa and may have housed as many as 900 students.
Morocco, a North African country bordering the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, is distinguished by its Berber, Arabian and European cultural influences. Marrakesh’s medina, a mazelike medieval quarter, offers entertainment in its Djemaa el-Fna square and souks (marketplaces) selling ceramics, jewelry and metal lanterns. The capital Rabat’s Kasbah of the Udayas is a 12th-century royal fort overlooking the water.

Ben Youssef Madrasa (Medrasa) Marrakesh, Morocco
The Ben Youssef Madrasa was an Islamic college in Marrakesh, Morocco, named after the Almoravid sultan Ali ibn Yusuf (reigned 1106–1142), who expanded the city and its influence considerably. It is the largest Madrasa in all of Morocco.
The college was founded during the period of the Marinid (14th century) by the Marinid sultan Abu al-Hassan and allied to the neighbouring Ben Youssef Mosque. The building of the madrasa was re-constructed by the Saadian Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib (1557–1574). In 1565 the works ordered by Abdallah al-Ghalib were finished, as confirmed by the inscription in the prayer room. Its 130 student dormitory cells cluster around a courtyard richly carved in cedar, marble and stucco. The carvings contain no representation of humans or animals as required by Islam, and consist entirely of inscriptions and geometric patterns. This madrasa was one of the largest theological colleges in North Africa and may have housed as many as 900 students. One of its best known teachers was Mohammed al-Ifrani (1670-1745).
Closed down in 1960, the building was refurbished and reopened to the public as an historical site in 1982.

Medersa Ben Youssef
The Medersa Ben Youssef, better known as the Koranic School, was built in 1565 under the command of Sultan Abdellah Al Ghalib, a Saadian dysnatie. Throughout this period, the monument housed Moroccan students from various theological and other backgrounds. La Médersa welcomed more than 900 students, including more than 100 foreigners. Composed of a basin and a prayer room, the school was richly decorated: floral motifs, marble work, cedar decorations, etc. that can still be admired today. The site was restored during the 1950s but has kept all its splendour.... It is impossible to forget that the Moroccan rulers have made it the most recognized Koranic school in the whole Maghreb.
