28/47.- Marrakech, Medersa Ben Youssef, detail

Once you have recovered from the view of the courtyard, you will have many other reasons to please your eyes inside the Madrassa Ben Youseff. It seems that local artists did not want to leave an empty space anywhere in the Madrassa. All walls, arcades, doors and ceilings are decorated with geometric decorations. Tiles, carvings, wood engravings are used everywhere.

Some of the decorations have words in Arabic with Coram references. It is possible to hire a guide that will give you detailed explanations about the writings.
