The El-Attarine Medersa (the Medersa of the Spice Sellers) in #Fes is one of the wonders of Moroccan architecture. Founded in 1325 as a place of learning, the site includes halls for teaching, student lodging, and a small mosque around a small open courtyard. It is all delicate carved plaster and cedar, unusual marble columns, bits of colorful Iraqi glass, and intricate #zellij tilework. #explorationvacation #moroccovacations #visitmorocco #fez #amazingarchitecture (at Fez, Morocco)

Deep in a Door County woodland, local residents built a traditional #stavkirke (a traditional Norwegian church). Although constructed in the 1990s, it is based on drawings of one built in Borgund, Norway, in 1150 AD. #churchesofinstagram #discoverwisconsin #doorcounty #explorationvacation (at Stavkirke Church)
