Tashfiniya Madrasa

The Tashfiniya Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة التاشفينية, romanized: al-Madrasa at-Tāshfiniyya), 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.
