Lonely Planet review

Closed for extensive renovation at the time of writing but due to open early in 2008 ( ensha'llah , or God Willing), this medersa at the bottom of Talaa Kebira was built between 1323 and 1325. A favourite of students coming to study in Fez, it has unique square pillars around a zellij- floored courtyard with a marble fountain and a prayer-hall with a carved-wood dome, as well as Iraqi glass behind carved-plaster latticework 'windows'.

There are two zellij panels at the entrance to the prayer-hall and two narrow galleries around the courtyard.
