• Koutoubia Mosque - The iconic Koutoubia Mosque was constructed in the 12th century during the Almohad Empire’s reign. Its name translates to “Librarians,” as the surrounding area was once a center for booksellers and scholars. It remains an active place of worship, with visitors able to admire its stunning exterior. The mosque and its tower exemplify classical Almohad architecture, known for its simplicity and symmetry. It served as a model for its twin mosques in Morocco’s current capital, Rabat, and also La Giralda in Seville, both built by the Almohad Empire in the 12th century.
• Le Jardin Secret - Medina - Marrakech - The Secret Garden is situated in the heart of the old city (Medina). It was part of an old palace dating back to the 16th century (Saadian dynasty) and was reconstructed in the 19th century. It’s a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby quarters. The garden was recently restored in 2016. It is divided into an exotic section featuring plants from around the world and an Islamic section inspired by the ancient principles of paradise gardens. The garden’s secret lies in its ancient water management systems, dating back to the late 11th century.

The central courtyard, with its beautiful fountain and ornate decorations, is a particularly captivating feature of the madrasa.
