Al-Murjaniya School

Al-Murjaniya School, which is known today as the Murjan Mosque, is located in Al-Shorja area on Al-Rasheed Street and was named as such for Amin al-Din Murjan, who built it in the year 758 AH / 1357 AD, that is, about a hundred years after the end of the Abbasid era. Its first period was similar to the Al-Mustansiriya school in terms of containing rooms for study and to accommodate students. At the beginning of this century, the school was demolished and a mosque was built in its place, leaving only parts of the school.
