Ben Youssef Madrasa Collage
This collage was founded in the 14th century by the sultan Abu al-Hassan and allied to the neighbouring Ben Youssef Mosque. The building was re-constructed by the Saadian Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib and in 1565 the works ordered by Abdullah al-Ghalib was finished as confirmed by the inscription in the prayer room. Its 130 student dormitory cells cluster around the courtyard richly carved in cedar, marble and stucco. The madrasa was one of the largest theological colleges in North Africa. The college was closed down in 1960 and the building was refurbished and reopened to the public as a historical site in 1982.
