Sahrij Madrasa
مدرسة الصهريج
A 14th-century Marinid madrasa famous for its long rectangular pool and fine wood and plaster carvings, rarely crowded.
Sahrij Madrasa was built in 1321–1323, and its name means 'cistern,' after the large rectangular pool in its courtyard. The walls feature, from bottom to top, zellige tiles, carved stucco and cedar woodwork. Its craftsmanship rivals that of the Al-Attarine Madrasa, but it receives far fewer visitors. It has been restored and is now open to visitors. Located in the Andalusian quarter on the east bank of the river, admission is about 20 dirhams.
