الوصف


The mosque of al-Qaraouiyine is located at the heart of the Medina of Fez. It was originally built in the ninth century, but underwent several phases of enlargement and expansion during the subsequent historical periods. Its architectural character is similar to that found throughout the Maghreb region, reflecting a building tradition that takes as its inspiration the monuments of al-Andalus. Al-Qaraouiyine also hosts a university that is considered to be the oldest in the world, and was once a major centre of learning.
