Medersa Mania

I am kind of obsessed with architecture and calligraphy in these old Islamic schools. It is so detailed that can just wander forever in each one! In Fez I made it to all three of these (quite a feat in the maze of the medina) and to one in Meknes. Below are some of my favorite shots, but you really have to go to feel the awe that is these places. Also, did I mention they are totally quiet inside? Each one is off a road in the medina which is constantly bustling with people, animals, tourists, etc but once you step inside you are part of total tranquility.
