The first art nouveau building in the city.

One of the things I enjoy most about Moroccan monuments is looking beyond the main courtyard.

At Ben Youssef Madrasa, some of the most interesting details are above you: carved cedarwood, stucco, geometric patterns and calligraphy covering almost every surface.

Beautiful fusion of Rococo, Baroque & Neoclassical with elements of traditional Ottoman architecture.

Not really sure as to the origins of it, but I thought it looked really gorgeous. It had a lot of fun tiny details that I didn’t do the best job at capturing
