Summary

Description
English: Plan of the Marinid religious complex in Chellah.

Key to numbers:

  1. Entrance courtyard
  2. Mosque
  3. Minaret of the mosque (partly ruined)
  4. Water basin
  5. Tomb of Sultan Abu Sa'id
  6. Tomb of Shams al-Duha (wife of Abu al-Hasan)
  7. Tomb of Abu al-Hasan
  8. Decorated gateway to the madrasa
  9. The madrasa (also referred to as a zawiya)
  10. Prayer hall of the madrasa
  11. Minaret of the madrasa (still preserved)

Sources: The plan is directly based on the plan of the Chellah complex found in: Marçais, Georges (1954), L'architecture musulmane d'Occident, p. 282. I also used an identical version of the plan at Museum With No Frontiers (here) as a digital benchmark to create this version.

Information about the identification of elements/structures listed above was found at the aforementioned book by Marçais (pp. 282-283) and at: Nagy, Péter Tamás (2014). "Sultans' Paradise: The Royal Necropolis of Shala, Rabat". Al-Masaq, vol. 26 (2): pp. 132–146
