This is the second finest Medersa of Fez. It is a medieval Koranic School. It is named after the perfumers located in the spice and perfume market nearby. It was built in 1325 by the Merenid sultan, Abou Said Othman. You can see a variety of rich zellij, wood and stucco decorations here. The amazing thing is that despite of a profusion of patterns the impact is light and not overwhelming. The symmetrical arches upheld by marble pillars are the hallmark of this medarsa.

Cherratin Medersa is an interesting place to visit. It is or was a religious school with quarters for students to stay and looking at the small rooms you might wonder about the amount of space they had to make do with. It was very popular in its heyday. It consists of three floors and the architecture is masterful. It's certainly worth a visit.
