The Ben Youssef Medersa was built in 1346 by Sultan Abou El Hassan Marin. The Ben Youssef Medersa served as a place of study for scholars and a destination for students eager for knowledge in various scientific fields, particularly those related to religion and law. The Ben Youssef Medersa is located in the heart of Marrakech. The diversity of construction materials and ornaments gives the Ben Youssef school a status of authentic architectural artwork, a true emblem of Moroccan artistic genius. The wood and plaster moldings bear witness to this diversity, contributing to its UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
