During a weekend getaway to Fés, I visited Al-Attarine Madrasa, located in the heart of the Médina. The bright pops of color and intricate calligraphy were mesmerizing. My friends and I attempted to read the script but decided we were better suited to view the magical architecture! Taken on February 29th.
