The Bou Inania Madrassa (Arabic: المدرسة البوعنانية - Al-madrasa Al-abū `inānīya) is a madrassa (Islamic learning center) founded by the Marinid ruler Abu Inan Faris in Meknes, Morocco in 1350.
The madrassa is considered as the best monument the Marinids have left. It is one of the marvels of Islamic architecture. The columns and doors have wonderful decorations, including the writings of carved ornaments.
The monument contains a prayer hall, a place for abulution, classrooms and a large patio.
