The Bou Inania Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة البوعنانية al-madrasa al-Būʿinānīya; Berber languages: ⴰⵙⵉⵏⴰⵏ ⴱⵓ ⵉⵏⴰⵏⵉⵢⴰ) is a historic madrasa (Islamic learning center) in the city of Meknes, Morocco. The building, well-preserved thanks to later restorations, is considered an excellent example of the richly-decorated madrasas of the Marinid period.[1][2]
