Shrob ou shouf
The Shrob ou shouf (
Chrob ou chouf) fountain is not far
from the Ben Youssef Medrassa, built during Saadian sultan Ahmad
al-Mansur's reign (1578-1603). Its wooden crown is carved to look
like honeycomb and a green tiled roof shelters the structure. One
of the fountain's inscriptions invites passers-by to drink and look
(
shrob ou shouf). In 1985, UNESCO recognised this Saadian
fountain as a cultural heritage site.
