Resumen
El presente artículo aborda el estudio de dos salas de abluciones que, salvo por algunas menciones superficiales, nunca han sido objeto de especial atención por parte de los trabajos dedicados al Occidente islámico. Se trata de dos edificios de gran interés arquitectónico que están hermanados entre sí gracias a su diseño, cronología y ubicación, pues funcionan respectivamente como el principal anexo de las dos aljamas de Fez (al-Qarawiyyīn y al-Andalusiyyīn). De hecho, ambas construcciones parecen haber sido originadas en la época almohade y, hasta la fecha, son los únicos ejemplos de su tipo que se conocen para dicho periodo en el Magreb. A este respecto, su documentación y análisis, a partir de fuentes materiales y textuales, representa una labor indispensable que puede contribuir en el conocimiento de estos equipamientos a partir de varios aspectos: su función, su significado para la sociedad, su implantación urbana y la evolución del modelo arquitectónico.
The present paper deals with research on two ablution halls that, apart from a few superficial references, have never received special attention in studies dedicated to the Islamic West. These two buildings of great architectural interest are linked to each other thanks to their common design, chronology and comparable location, as they both act as the main annexes of the two major congregational mosques in Fez (al-Qarawiyyīn and al-Andalusiyyīn). In fact, both buildings seem to have originated in the Almohad period and, to date, they represent the only examples of this type known for that time in the Maghreb. In this regard, documenting and analysing them on the basis of material and textual sources are indispensable tasks that can contribute to knowledge of these facilities from several perspectives: their function, their meaning for society, their location within the urban setting and the evolution of the architectural model.
