Zawiya en-Noussak

The Zawiya en-Noussak (or Zaouia en-Noussak) is a zawiya (a religious complex and residence usually centered around the tomb of a Muslim saint) located just outside the old city walls of Salé, Morocco.
Description.
The zawiya was built under the Marinid sultan Abu Inan in 1356. Like other zawiyas, this building was probably occupied by Sufi students, led by a sheikh, who prayed and studied the Qur'an together. The zawiya's name means "Zawiya of the Ascetics".
The only well-preserved part of the building is its ornate entrance portal of carved stone. The corbels at the top corners may have once Only vestiges remain of the rest of the original building, which was made of pisé. Behind the entrance was a vestibule leading to the main courtyard. From the vestibule were also passages that led to a "mida'a" (; "ablutions facility") to the north and living quarters to the south that likely belonged to the sheikh of the institution. The main courtyard was centered by a large rectangular water basin and surrounded by galleries that led to other rooms, possibly used for teaching and meetings. The living quarters of the students were likely located on an upper floor which no longer exists.
The building's layout bears many resemblances to the earlier zawiya that Abu Inan built at Chellah, not far from here, suggesting that it the latter may have served as a model for this one. Likewise, the stone-carved motifs on the gateway of this zawiya have parallels with those of the main gate of Chellah.
Today, the building stands near a modern hospital. In the late 20th century it was used as a private residence.
