The Medersa es Seffarine is the most ancient of Fez many medersas. It was built
in 1285, forty-two years before the more prestigious Bou Inania Medersa.Unlike other Medersas in the medina, the es Seffarine is essentially a
traditional Fassi house: it opens onto a courtyard with an arched balcony above
and a grand prayer hall further ahead.The medersa is still used to house students of the Kairaouine college but you’re
always welcome to have a look at any time without a charge.
