Salé, MAplace
About
Attached to the magnificent Grand Mosque, this medersa (school), next to the mosque's monumental entrance gate, is a showcase of superb Merenid architecture and decorative arts. Both it and the mosque date from the first half of the 14th century and were commissioned by Almohad Sultan Abou Al Hassan. The medersa takes the form of a narrow courtyard surrounded by a gallery, and every available surface is encrusted in intricate zellij, carved stucco or elegant cedar woodwork.
