Marinid Madrasa of Salé, 14th-century Islamic school in Salé, Morocco
The Marinid Madrasa features traditional elements including geometric tiles, cedar wood carvings, and a central courtyard for student gatherings and studies.
Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman established this educational institution during the Marinid dynasty's expansion of learning centers across Morocco in the 1300s.
The madrasa curriculum encompassed Islamic theology, law, and sciences, with numerous poets and scholars contributing to the intellectual development of Moroccan society.
The building stands at the end of a narrow alley near a contemporary mosque, allowing visitors to examine preserved architectural details and original structural elements.
Ibn al-Khatib documented over one hundred poets residing at this madrasa during his visit, highlighting its role as a center of literary excellence.
