Mihrab, Bou Inania Madrasa, Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco
Mirhab in the internal courtyard of the Bou Inania Madrasa or religious school, founded in 1350 by the Marinid ruler Abu Inan Faris, Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet, Morocco. The mihrab is a niche indicating the direction of prayer to muslims. The courtyard with its central fountain is decorated with zellige tiles in geometric patterns, carved stucco and cedar wood and is flanked by carved screens. Meknes is a fortified Imperial city redeveloped under Sultan Moulay Ismail, 1634-1727, as Morocco's political capital. Picture by Manuel Cohen
