Description: Floor plan of the Qarawiyyin Mosque, from the floor plan created by E. Pauty (Edmond Pauty, 1923, "Le plan de l’Université Qarawiyin à Fès", Hespéris, IV) and adapted and republished by a number of authors, in particular by Henri Terrasse. I took the version from Terrasse (1957, La Mosquée d'Al-Qarawīyīn à Fès et l'Art des Almoravides) and cleaned it up as best I can, plus minor changes. The floor plan does not fully reflect the most recent 20th-century additions or modifications to the mosque's outer structures (e.g. the library), but the floor plan of the mosque itself is well-established and unchanged. Labels were added according to those indicated by Terrasse.
