The Charm and the Beauty of Al-Attarin School in Fez
The city of Fez is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with Things to Do in Fez; we will discover one of the famous and oldest schools in the ancient city of Fez: Al-Attarin School.
The beautiful and decorated Al-Attarin School is located on the edge of the perfume and spice souk in the charming Moroccan city of Fez. Its proximity to this market is the origin of its name.
Al-Attarin School was established with the commission of the Marinid Sultan Yaqoub Abu Saeed Othman II, and it was completed in 1325. The Marinid sultans were always attending the school for religious purposes, as it was the basis for radiating religious lessons during the period between 1244 and 1465.
In addition to this school, Sultan Abu Saeed Othman II started several construction projects in the city of Fez, along with other Marinid schools in Fez. Al-Attarin School is decorated and decorated while maintaining the rectangular shape in the corridors and the courtyard. And one of the most skilled engraving workers wrote the name of ‘Allah’ from the green brick on less than two centimeters across the white toad with a curving at the edges of the word and its background in a perfect harmony. With this artwork in the middle, it expands across the rest of the school wall.
There is a technique known as carving that appears clearly in the decoration of Al-Attarin School. This technique works to carve the façade of the ceramic tiles to leave a sparkle on the brick. This pattern was more used on the black satin and this beauty increases with time.
