The Bou Inania Madrasa is a madrasa (Islamic learning center) in the city of Meknes, Morocco. Contrary to what the name might suggest, it was not founded by the Marinid ruler Abu Inan Faris' but rather by his father Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman in 1341 as the marble plaque above the entrance indicates, and it would appear that this name was given at a later date.[1] There is also another madrasa with the same name in the city of Fes.
The madrasa is considered one of the best monument the Marinids have left. It is a marvel of Islamic architecture. The columns and doors have wonderful decorations, including the writings of carved ornaments.
The monument contains a prayer hall, a place for ablution, classrooms and a large patio.
The Madrasa Bou Inania (also Bu Inaniya, المدرسة أبو عنانية بفاس al-madrasa ʾAbū ʿInānīya bi-Fās) is a madrasa in Fes, Morocco, founded in AD 1351–56 by Abu Inan Faris. It is widely acknowledged as an excellent example of Marinid architecture.
The name Bou Inania (Bū ‘Ināniya) comes from the first part of the sultan's name Abou Inan. The madrasa functioned both as an educational institute and as a congregational mosque.
This is the only madrasa in Fes with a minaret. Opposite the main doorway of the madrasa is the entrance to the dar al-wuḍūʾ (ablutions house) for washing limbs and face before prayers. Left and right of the central court there are classrooms.
According to history, religious leaders of the Karaouine Mosque advised Abu Inan Faris to build this madrasa. It was the last madrasa to be built by the Marinids. The madrasa became one of the most important religious institutions of Fes and Morocco, and gained the status of Grand Mosque.
The madrasa was renovated in the 18th century. During the reign of Sultan Mulay Sliman, entire sections were reconstructed. In the 20th century, major restoration work was performed on the load-bearing structure, the plaster, wood and tiled decorations with Islamic geometric patterns.
The madrasa is one of the few religious places in Morocco that is accessible for non-Islamic visitors. Opposite the Madrasa Bou Inania is the Dar al-Magana, a wall with a hydraulic clock that was built in conjunction to the madrasa.

ah, suona dolcemente
come a chi sta per piangere
ogni canzone tessuta
di artificio e di luna:
nulla che ricordi la vita.
Preludio di cortesie,
o sorriso trascorso...
giardino remoto e freddo
E nell'anima di chi l' ha trovato
solo l'eco assurda del volo inane.
(F. Pessoa)
...
Everything so clear now
It's written on your face
In a world within a world
I can smell the bridges burn
Sharks ever circling
They never go away
In these dark, murky waters
So hard to navigate and so easy to hate
...

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis,
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
mihi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
mihi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!
-----------------------------------
Ó Fortuna
és como a Lua
mutável,
sempre aumentas
e diminuis;
a detestável vida
ora oprime
e ora cura
para brincar com a mente;
a miséria,
o poder,
ela os funde como gelo.
Sorte imensa
e vazia,
tu – roda volúvel –
és má,
vã é a felicidade
sempre dissolúvel,
nebulosa
e velada
também a mim contagias;
agora por brincadeira
o dorso nu
entrego à tua perversidade.
A sorte na saúde
e virtude
agora me é contrária.
dá
e tira
mantendo sempre escravizado.
nesta hora
sem demora
tange a corda vibrante;
porque a sorte
abate o forte,
chorais todos comigo!
Anónimo, Carmina Burana, s. XII.
MÚSICA: Carl Orff - O Fortuna (Carmina Burana)
La Médersa Bou Inania a été édifiée entre 1350 et 1355 pour le sultan Abou 'Inan Faris (r. 1348 - 59), soit sous la dynastie des Mérinides. Medersa (école coranique) mais également "mosquée du vendredi", elle est la seule médersa de la ville comportant un minaret., et elle jouxtait aussi des boutiques permettant son financement, ainsi que de vastes latrines, qui témoignent de son caractère public.
Fue construida por el sultán Abu Inan Faris de la dinastía de los Benimerines coincidiendo con los últimos días de la edificación de la madrasa. Su construcción finalizó el 6 de mayo de 1357 de la era cristina. En su interior albergaba un reloj de agua o clepsidra. Ali Ahmed Tlemsani y astrónomo del rey Abu el Hassan fue el encargado de supervisar los trabajos de construcción.
Los elementos arquitectónicos aún visibles no permiten discernir bien el mecanismo de su funcionamiento. Sin embargo a partir de los vestigios aún existentes, de los que aún podemos observar en la fachada las 12 ventanas acabadas en arco, por las que seguramente aparecían autómatas, y las 12 plataformas sobre las que apoyaban 12 cuencos de bronce, parece deducirse que el reloj funcionaba según el sistema de las horas desiguales. En este sistema de origen griego, la hora se entendía como la doceava parte del arco diurno recorrido por el Sol, dado que tal arco varía a lo largo del año, la duración de la hora también varía.
Presumiblemente, el reloj era accionado por una especie de carrito que se deslizaba de izquierda a derecha por detrás de las doce puertas. El carrito debía estar atado por un extremo a una cuerda de la que colgaba un contrapeso y por el otro a una cuerda de la que colgaba un flotador situado sobre la superficie de agua de un depósito que se vaciaba de forma regular. A medida que el agua de la cisterna se vaciaba a través de un tubo de desagüe situado en la parte inferior del depósito, el flotador de madera descendía impulsando el carrito por medio de cuerdas y poleas y haciendo abrir las ventanas. De cada una de estas ventanas se liberaba una bola de metal que caía en caída libre sobre un tímpano metálico, indicando así la hora del día. Por la tarde el relojero o muwaqqit volvía a poner las bolas metálicas en su lugar y ajustaba el reloj para el día siguiente.

Visiteremo prima la Medersa - “Bou Inania
Fondata nel 1350-57 da Abu Inan Faris …
riconosciuta come esempio di architettura Merinide.
Uno dei pochi luoghi religiosi del Marocco
accessibili anche ai non islamici.
Come molte altre Mederse, ha perso la sua funzione
di scuola Coranica - (al primo piano il pavimento cede).

Poi le concerie del Guerniz - da visitare dalla terrazza
con il tradizionale rimedio agli odori intensi …
(il ramoscello di menta) - si può assistere alla lavorazione
delle pelli, che vengono trattate in grosse vasche.
Il processo della concia, è un rituale antico
tramandato da padre in figlio - non c’è alcuna scuola
dove poter apprendere - tutto si impara per gradi ...
dalla giovane età … Mamma mia che lavoro poco sano!

Mondo, e ti torno a lodare
Mondo, ti devo ladare
per la tua stregonesca magia
intrecciata all’incoscienza
dell’uomo – millenni
di storia hanno accumulato
un enorme sapere senza
che l’anima sia progredita
di un passo
e se un sasso
sarà sempre un sasso,
noi siamo sempre gli stessi
oppure individualmente diversi:
creature umorali
disperse in galassie infinite,
superbi prometei che sovvertono
le proprie e le altrui,
preziosissime vite –
esausti disillusi che vagano
queruli e annoiati, psicotici,
accecati dal disordine mentale,
poveri diavoli smarriti,
impostori travestiti da bramini,
fanatici infuriati.
Ma persiste sepolto un bagliore
e a quello m’appello,
Mondo, e ti torno a lodare
per il segreto che ancora
ti avvolge, per il pullulare
di polvere e polline
dentro un cono di luce
come onda di un campo.
E’ in quel tremolio,
in quella danza continua
che flette e che torce,
è nell’indeterminato vibrare
di forze in tensione,
è nel cacofonico coro
di un esteso presente
alieno a un’idea condivisa
di tempo e di spazio – è qui
che si addensa il reale,
potenza, energia, uno sciame
di grani che il caso
per accidente combina,
fuoriuscita dal seme celeste
di una gigantesca medusa
che si espande, dilata,
implode, s’incurva
perché la realtà
non è come ci appare
perché vista da fuori,
un fuori lontano, remoto
spaziale, risplende
e commuove la tua
bellezza globale.
« Earthrise, earthrise »,
mormorava rapito l’astronauta
orbitante nell’oscurità
dello spazio, affacciato
su un osso di calce lunare.
E vedeva la luce del mondo
– un blu universale –
e scattava le foto
che al fluttuante pianeta terrestre
avrebbe eretto
un cosmico altare.
Ringrazio quel desolato
balcone lunare e quella
impensata, siderea distanza:
troppi miracoli finiscono
persi quando ci avvitiamo
in inani manie, ridicole brame,
paranoie convulsioni pazzie.
Sospesi su ponteggi vacillanti,
ci sosteniamo con le nostre
fissazioni. Pur di distogliere
lo sguardo dall’incombente
abisso, ci rifugiamo
in raggelanti automatismi,
in penosissime ossessioni.
Sappiamo di portarci appresso
un fardello di nequizie, ma
l’ignavia, le coazioni, le pigrizie
sono monete opache e note,
ben più rassicuranti delle luci
abbacinanti e sconosciute
di un mondo che non offre garanzie.

C'est la plus grande des medersas de Fès et sans doute la plus connue des touristes. Manque de chance pour les photos, ce jour-là le temps était orageux et le ciel désespérément blanc. Aussi n'ai-je pas trop pris de photos à part quelques détails d'architecture.
"La Médersa Bou Inania a été édifiée entre 1350 et 1355 pour le sultan Abou 'Inan Faris (r. 1348 - 59), sous la dynastie des Mérinides.
Le plan général est irrégulier, du fait de l'emplacement, mais une certaine symétrie y est respectée. L'entrée principale mène à une grande cour centrale, sur laquelle s'ouvrent deux halls plus petits, servant aux cours, et surmontés de dômes de bois. Ce plan rappelle les plans à deux iwans, nés en Iran et utilisés de manière contemporaine en Égypte mamelouke.
Au fond de la cour, on trouve une salle de prière composée de deux nefs parallèles à la qibla. Elle comporte un unique mihrab, qui fait saillie dans le mur, et quatre colonnes d'onyx. Cette salle est couverte de deux voûtes en bois.
Autour de ce complexe principal se déploient les cellules des étudiants, accessibles à partir du vestibule d'entrée via des couloirs étroits" [on ne visite pas].

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is a great leader who left his mark on human history, making Türkiye, with all its institutions, a member of modern civilization. The idea of constructing a mausoleum that would fully represent Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's greatness and reflect his principles, reforms, and thoughts on modernization became a collective decision of the Turkish nation. The search for the most suitable location for Anıtkabir began, and finally, it was decided that Anıtkabir would be built on the site known as Rasattepe. A design competition was held for Anıtkabir, and as a result of the competition, the jury decided on May 7, 1942, to implement the works of Prof. Emin Onat and Assoc. Prof. Orhan Arda. The construction of Anıtkabir began on October 9, 1944, with a magnificent groundbreaking ceremony. The construction of Anıtkabir was completed in four phases over a period of nine years.
The first phase of construction work began on October 9, 1944, and was completed in 1945 with the construction of the retaining wall of the Lion's Way and the determination of the ground level. The second phase of construction work started on September 29, 1945, and it was decided to prepare the "basic project" of the monument mass. The excavation and insulation of the mausoleum's foundation were completed in 1947. With the completion of the entrance towers and landscaping work, the second phase of construction work was completed on August 8, 1950. The third phase of construction work began in 1950 and was completed in the same year. In the third phase of construction, the roads leading to the monument, the Lion's Way, the ceremonial square and the stone cladding of the mausoleum's upper floor, the construction of the stair steps, the placement of the sarcophagus stone, and the installation of the facilities were completed. The fourth phase of construction began on November 20, 1950, and was completed on September 1, 1953, with the laying of the hall of honor floor, the underlayment of the vaults, the stone profiles around the hall of honor, and the cornice decorations. The period between 1940 and 1950 is referred to as the Second National Architectural Period of Turkish architecture. During the Second National Architectural Period, monumental aspects predominated, structures were built where symmetry was important and cut stone was used. At the same time, Ottoman and Seljuk architectural features are also prominent in Anıtkabir.
Anıtkabir is divided into two parts: the Peace Park and the Monument Block. The Peace Park consists of saplings brought from various countries around the world and different regions of Türkiye. The Monument Block is composed of three parts: the Lion's Path, the Ceremonial Square, and the Mausoleum. The Lion's Path was built to prepare visitors for Atatürk's presence and extends from the entrance to Anıtkabir to the central Ceremonial Square. The Ceremonial Square, located at the end of the Lion's Path and surrounded by the side buildings and columns of Anıtkabir, has a capacity of 15,000 people. The Mausoleum is the most important part of Anıtkabir. Accessible via a 42-step staircase from the Ceremonial Square, the Mausoleum is a rectangular structure consisting of two floors. The Mausoleum section was used as the center of gravity in the construction of the monument because Atatürk's tomb and symbolic sarcophagus are located in this section. For this reason, the architects who designed Anıtkabir emphasized that the Mausoleum section should be more magnificent than the other parts.
Within the Anıtkabir complex, there are 10 towers arranged symmetrically. These towers are named: Independence Tower, Freedom Tower, Soldier's Tower, Victory Tower, Peace Tower, April 23rd Tower, National Pact Tower, Revolution Tower, Republic Tower, and Defense of Rights Tower. Each tower displays books about Anıtkabir and Atatürk, Atatürk's personal belongings and gifts sent to him, and artifacts symbolizing the War of Independence. Furthermore, in the center of a gallery formed by open-sided columns between the Peace and Victory Towers, stands the symbolic sarcophagus of İsmet İnönü, Atatürk's closest comrade-in-arms, commander of the Western Front during the Turkish War of Independence, and the second President of Turkey, who passed away on December 25, 1973. His burial chamber is located on the lower level of this sarcophagus.
In accordance with the terms of the Anıtkabir Project Competition, the area between the Misak-ı Milli and İnkılâp towers was designated as a museum, and the Anıtkabir Atatürk Museum was opened to the public on June 21, 1960. It houses Atatürk's personal belongings and gifts he received. The museum also displays Atatürk's medals and decorations, as well as items donated to the museum by his adopted daughters, A. Afet İnan, Rukiye Erkin, and Sabiha Gökçen. In 2001, the museum was redesigned and expanded to include a three thousand square meter area beneath the Hall of Honor where Atatürk's mausoleum is located. This project resulted in a 5,200 square meter exhibition area. Opened with a state ceremony on August 26, 2002, the museum was renamed the Atatürk and War of Independence Museum.

Fès, Morocco
The Madrasa Bou Inania (Arabic: المدرسة البوعنانية, romanized: al-madrasa ʾabū ʿinānīya; Berber languages: is a madrasa in Fes, Morocco, built in 1350–55 CE by Abu Inan Faris.
It is the only madrasa in Morocco which also functioned as a congregational mosque.
It is widely acknowledged as a high point of Marinid architecture and of historic Moroccan architecture generally.
The Merenid Tombs refers to the ruins of monumental tombs on a hill above and north of Fes al-Bali, the old city of Fez, Morocco. Today, they are also a popular lookout point over the historic city.
There is sparse information available on the site and its history. However, the ruined tombs are believed to date from the 14th century, during the Merenid dynasty (13th-15th centuries), hence their name. The Merenids conquered Fez in 1250 (CE) and turned it into their capital, most notably building a new fortified palace city (Fes el-Jdid) in 1276 alongside the existing old city (Fes el-Bali).
Starting in 1287, they also built a palace and a mosque on the hill just outside the city walls to the north, overlooking the heart of the old city. This hill was known as al-Qula, and today simply as the "Hill of the Marinids". Eventually, a royal necropolis was also constructed on the site.
Up until the middle of the 14th century the Marinid dynasty buried its members in the royal necropolis at Chellah, outside Rabat. The sultan Abu Inan, however, was interred in the Grand Mosque of Fes el-Jdid upon his death in 1358 and after this his successors were buried in the necropolis on the al-Qula hill. They continued to be interred here up until the demise of the dynasty. To this day, no rigorous archaeological excavations have yet been carried out on the site of the tombs.
The site was probably once enclosed by a wall, giving it the form of a rawda, an enclosed funerary garden or private cemetery in the Islamic tradition. Behind (or north of) the two mausoleums are the ruins of another small domed building, or qoubba, that may have been part of the necropolis. The hillsides around the tombs are occupied by the sprawling Bab Guissa Cemetery, though the graves visible today are likely much more recent.
Today the site is perhaps best known as a lookout with panoramic views over the old city of Fez, popular at sunset. It is also a notable place to hear the call to prayer (adhan) broadcasting simultaneously from all the mosques in the old city.
The Madrasa Bou Inania is a madrasa in Fes, Morocco, founded in AD 1351–56 by Abu Inan Faris. It is widely acknowledged as an excellent example of Marinid architecture.
The name Bou Inania (Bū 'Ināniya) comes from the first part of the sultan's name Abou Inan. The madrasa functioned both as an educational institute and as a congregational mosque.
This is the only madrasa in Fes with a minaret. Opposite the main doorway of the madrasa is the entrance to the dar al-wuḍūʾ (ablutions house) for washing limbs and face before prayers. Left and right of the central court there are classrooms.
According to history, religious leaders of the Karaouine Mosque advised Abu Inan Faris to build this madrasa. It was the last madrasa to be built by the Marinids. The madrasa became one of the most important religious institutions of Fes and Morocco, and gained the status of Grand Mosque.
The madrasa was renovated in the 18th century. During the reign of Sultan Mulay Sliman, entire sections were reconstructed. In the 20th century, major restoration work was performed on the load-bearing structure, the plaster, wood and tiled decorations with Islamic geometric patterns.
The madrasa is one of the few religious places in Morocco that is accessible for non-Islamic visitors. Opposite the Madrasa Bou Inania is the Dar al-Magana, a wall with a hydraulic clock that was built in conjunction to the madrasa.
Uzungöl (English: Long lake) is lake situated to the south of the city of Trabzon in Turkey. Over the years it has become a major tourist attraction. It is also the name of a nearby village.The lake is at a distance of 99 km from Trabzon and 19 km from Çaykara district. It was formed by landslide making the stream bed to become a natural dam in the valley of Haldizen Stream
The area is most famous for its natural beauty. Located in a valley between high rising mountains, the lake and village at first appear inaccessible. The surrounding greenery of the mountain forests and fog, occasionally enveloping the lake at night, also add to the scenery.
In recent years a major tourist boom has attracted a number of hotels, restaurants and gift and souvenir shops to be built in the area. The transport infrastructure has also been greatly improved. Recently the government proposed to build a wall around the water with cement fortification, destroying the shores of the lake, so that water from waves on the lake would not wet the nearby roads around it. This has been met with a lot of protest from locals as well as ecologists concerned with the environmental damage, stating that this move would turn the lake into a giant artificial pool. wiki

Cada uno con una labor específica
Porque el humanismo ha muerto
Y ya nadie puede permitirse el lujo
De ponerse a pensar por sí mismo
De desarrollar ideas y tareas distintas
Porque debemos elegir una única cosa
Emplear el tiempo en algo concreto
Aunque no tenga ningún sentido
Para conseguir ganarnos la vida
En la tenebrosa era del "especialismo"
Frotándonos las antenas unos con otros
Obedeciendo los impulsos electroquímicos
Para seguir la corriente que nos lleva
Ruge la marabunta...

Direkt neben Bab Boujloud befindet sich die Medersa Bou Inania, die Koranschule des Abu Inan, die 1350 erbaut wurde. Die Medersa mit ihrem quadratischen Innenhof mit Waschbrunnen, den beiden vorgelagerten Betsälen und den im ersten und zweiten Stock liegenden, winzigen Wohnzellen der Studenten ist unbedingt sehenswert.

Description
Perge, the long-established city of Pamphylia region, is located 18 km east of Antalya and 2 km north of Aksu Village. The Archaeological site of Perge has been excavated systemically by Istanbul University since 1946.
Archaeological finds in Perge date back to different periods beginning from the Late Chalcolitic Ages. It's revealed through the even rarely found remains that Perge had been settled permanently in Early Bronze Ages, meaning that it is a significant settlement witnessing permanent land use from the beginning of that time.
One of the remains belonging to early periods of settlement has been excavated in Bogazköy. "Parha" name written on a bronze plate by cuneiform script and documenting an agreement in 13th BC is associated with the name of Perge. Any remains contemporary with the bronze plate has not been found yet.
During the Hellenistic period, the city also enlarged through the campaign in the south. City Walls of that era and a part of it (South Gate-the circular shaped tower) have been unearthed.
The city is also known with the local sculptures. On the other hand, the women were very active on the administrative level of the city. This is also emphasized with the fine sculptures of the important women such as Platia Magna.
Perge reigned by the Romans beginning from BC 133 by the legacy of Pergamon. An inscription excavated in Perge reveals the state organizations in the 1st AD and the location of Perge within this organizational scheme. According to this inscription, a federal state of Lykia and Pamphylia has been founded and Perge partook within this administration. The city benefited from the prosperity and built monumental structures, while welfare period last until the mid of the 3rd AD. The city remained under the Easter Roman domain beginning from the 5th AD, and then reigned by the Seljuks, Hamidogullari and the Ottomans respectively.
Perga is today an archaeological site and a tourist attraction. Ancient Perge, one of the chief cities of Pamphylia, was situated between the Rivers Catarrhactes (Düden Nehri) and Cestrus (Aksu), 60 stadia (about 11.1 kilometres (6.9 mi)) from the mouth of the latter; the site is in the modern Turkish village of Murtana on the Suridjik sou, a tributary of the Cestrus, formerly in the Ottoman vilayet of Konya. Its ruins include a theatre, a palaestra, a temple of Artemis and two churches. The temple of Artemis was located outside the town.
Another big ancient city in the area is Selge, Pisidia, located about 20km to the northeast
The Archaeological site of Perge has been excavated systemically by Istanbul University since 1946.
Excavation Studies:
Perge excavations are one of Turkey's well-established scientific studies started by Istanbul University about 70 years ago. These studies - such as Arif Müfid Mansel, Jale İnan and Haluk Abbasoğlu - were the great masters of Turkish archeology. Scientific studies are carried out by Antalya Museum from 2012
