È la più grande Madrasa del Marocco. La scuola fu fondata durante il periodo dei Merinidi, nel XIV secolo, dal sultano Merinide Abu al-Hassan assieme al vicina Moschea di Ben Youssef. La struttura attuale della madrasa fu edificata dal Sultano Saadita Abdallah al-Ghalib (1557–1574). I lavori commissionati da Abdallah al-Ghalib furono terminati nel 1565, come confermato dall'iscrizione nella stanza della preghiera. Il chiostro con le 132 celle dormitorie per gli studenti, non residenti a Marrakech, intorno al cortile sono riccamente sciolpite in cedro, marmo e stucco. Le sculture non contengono come richiesto dall'Islam, figure umane o animali,ma consistono interamente in iscrizioni e motivi geometrici. Questa madrasa fu una delle più grandi scuole teologiche del Nord Africa, e avrebbe potuto ospitare circa 900 studenti. Una degli insegnanti più famosi fu Mohammed al-Ifrani (1670-1745). Dirimpetto alla porta d'ingresso, sul lato opposto del bacino rettangolare, si apre la sala di preghiera, composto da tre navate delimitate da colonne di marmo sostenute da archi sulle facciate, scolpite con motivi ornamentali. La navata centrale si apre su una piccola stanza a semicerchio, la cui apertura è riccamente decorata con motivi floreali e geometrici. Questa stanza contiene il mihrab decorato con un cordone di gesso che forma degli alveoli, interamente scolpiti. Chiuso nel 1960, la costruzione fu restaurata e riaperta al pubblico come sito storico nel 1982. La medersa Ben Youssef est un joyau de l'architecture arabo-andalouse situé à Marrakech. La medersa est fondée par sultan mérinide Abu al-Hassan. La structure actuelle de cette école coranique fut édifiée vers 1570 par les saadiens et restaurée en 1950. Elle est l'œuvre du sultan saadien Abdellah Al Ghalib qui en acheva la construction en 1564-1565. Le nom Ben Youssef vient du sultan almoravide Ali Ben Youssef. La medersa fut durant plus de quatre siècles un foyer d'accueil pour les étudiants en soif de connaissances dans diverses sciences, notamment en théologie. Elle disposait de 132 chambres destinées aux étudiants non originaires de Marrakech et pouvait accueillir jusqu'à 900 étudiants. À l'opposé de la porte d'entrée, de l'autre côté du bassin rectangulaire, s'ouvre la salle de prières constituée de trois nefs délimitées par des piliers de marbre supportant des arcs aux façades ciselées de motifs d'ornementation. La nef centrale donne sur une petite salle en demi-cercle dont l'ouverture est somptueusement décorée de motifs floraux et géométriques. Cette salle recèle le mirhab décoré d'une dentelle de plâtre sculpté formant des alvéoles. La Madraza de Ben Youssef es una madraza aneja a la Mezquita de Ben Youssef, en Marrakech, Marruecos. Alberga algunos de los más bellos ejemplos de arte y arquitectura de Marruecos. La madraza, donde más de 800 estudiantes memorizaban el Corán, fue fundada por el sultán Abou el Hassan en el siglo XIV. Sin embargo, fue totalmente reconstruída por los saadíes, quienes dejaron una mayor muestra de arte y arquitectura en la misma. En el centro de la madraza se dispone un gran patio de abluciones con una alberca central. Los edificios están hechos de madera de cedro con estuco y azulejos de colores. La sala de rezos posee una de las decoraciones más exuberantes del conjunto, usando piñas y palmeras para la decoración del mihrab. En toda la madraza hay numerosas inscripciones en estuco y azulejo, de las cuales la más común es el basmala. The Ben Youssef Madrasa was an Islamic college in Marrakech, Morocco, named after the Almoravid sultan Ali ibn Yusuf (reigned 1106–1142), who expanded the city and its influence considerably. It is the largest Medrasa in all of Morocco. The college was founded during the period of the Marinid (14th century) by the Marinid sultan Abu al-Hassan and allied to the neighbouring Ben Youssef Mosque. The building of the madrasa was re-constructed by the Saadian Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib (1557–1574). In 1565 the works ordered by Abdallah al-Ghalib were finished, as confirmed by the inscription in the prayer room. Its 130 student dormitory cells cluster around a courtyard richly carved in cedar, marble and stucco. The carvings contain no representation of humans or animals as required by Islam, and consist entirely of inscriptions and geometric patterns. This madrasa was one of the largest theological colleges in North Africa and may have housed as many as 900 students. One of its best known teachers was Mohammed al-Ifrani (1670-1745). Closed down in 1960, the building was refurbished and reopened to the public as an historical site in 1982.
