Saffarin Madrasa (Arabic: مدرسة الصفارين, lit. 'madrasa of the metalworkers') is a madrasa in Fes el-Bali, the old medina quarter of Fez, Morocco. It was built in 1271 CE (670 AH) by the Marinid Sultan Abu Ya'qub Yusuf and was the first of many madrasas built by the Marinid dynasty during their reign. It is located just south of the 9th-century Qarawiyyin Mosque on Saffarin Square (or Place Seffarine), which is named after the coppersmiths (Arabic: الصفارين, romanized: saffarin) who work in the square.[1]
