Cherratin Medersa

  • Address: Derb Zaouia, Fez

Fodor's Review:

Constructed in 1670 by Moulay er Rachid, this is one of Fez's two Alaouite medersas. Less ornate than the 14th-century medersas of the Merenids, this one is more functional, designed to hold more than 200 students. It's interesting primarily as a contrast to the intricate craftsmanship and decorative intent of the Merenid structures.

  • Cost: 20 DH
  • Open: Daily 9-1 and 3-6:30
