The Tashfiniya Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة التاشفينية, romanized: Madrasa al-Tashfiniya),[1][2][3][a] is a former madrasa in the city of Tlemcen, Algeria. Built in the early 14th century by the Zayyanid ruler Abu Tashfin I (r. 1318–1337), it was a major monument in the city and was celebrated for its rich architectural decoration. It was demolished by the French colonial authorities in 1876.[6]: 124–131
