Foundouk Tetouaniyine, 14th-century caravanserai in Medina of Fez, Morocco

The Foundouk Tetouaniyine extends across 437 square meters, featuring a central courtyard encircled by multi-level galleries and traditional storage spaces on the ground floor.

Built during the Marinid dynasty around the same period as the al-Attarine Madrasa, this structure received national monument status in 1925 and underwent restoration until 2019.

The vestibule displays exceptional Marinid-era wooden corbels decorated with geometric patterns, floral motifs, and Kufic script inscriptions that reflect Moroccan craftsmanship.

Following recent renovations, the building now functions as a cultural and commercial center where local artisans showcase and sell their creations to visitors.

The name Tetouaniyine indicates this foundouk's historical connection to merchants from Tetouan, reflecting how Fez organized traders according to their cities of origin.
