After a while, the medersas (also medresas or madrasas; koranic boarding schools or universities) in Morocco start to look the same. Are they really? I'm not an expert on islamic architecture and arts. Therefore just a few pics to compare... To see them in better quality, click here for the gallery.

Please let me know if you know an online resource with decent information about Moroccan medersas (not just tourist-related or pictures).
