Al Attarine Madrasa

The Al Attarine Madrasa is recognizable by its grand entrance, where a heavy wooden door is covered in intricate bronze plating. Built between thirteen twenty-three and thirteen twenty-five, this historic school sits at the edge of the spice and perfume market, or Souk al-Attarine. Its name—the school of the perfumers—comes directly from this bustling commercial district it borders.
