the glorious atrium of the ali ben youssef medersa in marrakesh.
this koranic school was founded by the Merenid sultan Abou el-Hassan in the mid-14th century, and was rebuilt by the Saadian sultan Moulay Abdallah in the 16th century. architecturally, and with its sumptuous decoration, it is on a par with the Merenid medersas, particularly the Bou Inania Medersa of Fes.
