📍Medersa Bou Inania 📍 👉The most architecturally refined of Fez’s theological colleges was built by the Merinid sultan Bou Inan between 1351 and 1357. Beyond the massive brass entrance doors, its interior courtyard is a masterpiece of elaborate zelligetilework, carved plaster and beautiful cedar lattice screens. Smaller courts off either side functioned as classrooms, and students lived upstairs. 👉Unlike many such schools, the Bou Inania has a full mosque adjoining it. (For this reason, it's closed to visitors during prayer times.) The mihrab niche, visible across the prayer hall, has onyx columns, a style that echoes the Great Mosque of Córdoba. The mosque's beautiful green-tiled minaret is the one that's visible when you enter the medina via Bab Bou Jeloud. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Follow us and tag yourself if you are interested in sharing your most perfect pictures of our beautiful country @moroccofriendlytravel 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Credit:® @hafiidii.omaar@walidtighazoui . . . . #morocco #trip #travelblogger #adventure #traveling #vacation #picoftheday #travelling #explore #instagram #postcardsfromtheworld #optoutside #solotravel #goexplore #wonderfulplaces #travelbug #wanderlust #momentsofmine #travelstories #roamtheplanet #traveltheworld #instatravelling #mytravelgram #traveladdict #globetrotter #travelphotography #lovetravel #travelpics #travelwithfriends #travelinspiration
