Fez grew as an intellectual and crafts center; al‑Qarawiyyin university dates to 859 AD and the city’s madrasas reflect Marinid architectural patronage in the 14th century.
Conservation
Tanneries produce wastewater and strong effluents—choose shops that practice vegetable tanning when possible and stay on designated routes to reduce impact on fragile architecture.
