Bou Inania Medersa, one of Fez’s best-known Islamic schools, stands out in the medina skyline with its green-tiled mosque minaret. Built in the 14th century, the medersa is a stunning example of Moroccan craftsmanship, featuring intricate tilework, stucco, and horseshoe arches. The interior is adorned with filigreed latticework screens, creating a visually rich environment. Visitors can still see and use the original 14th-century fountain, which continues to be a functional part of the medersa. This historic site offers a glimpse into the architectural and educational heritage of medieval Morocco.
