The Amiriya School

Al-Amiriya (Arabic:المدرسة العامرية) is a 16th-centurymadrasa (educational institution) located inRada,Yemen. It is under consideration for inscription as aUNESCO World Heritage Site.[1] It was built in 1504 and is an example of the architecture ofTahirids, Yemen. The monument was in poor condition until 1978 when Iraqi-born archaeologistSelma Al-Radi saw it and enlisted financial help from foreign missions to restore it in a more than twenty-year effort which she led.[1][2]

Significance

[edit]

This site was added to theUNESCOWorld Heritage Tentative List on July 8, 2002, in the Cultural category.[1]

The restoration process revived the art ofqadad, a form of waterproof interior and exterior plastering. In 2004 a documentary film,Qudad, Re-inventing a Tradition, was made on the subject by the filmmaker Caterina Borelli (preview).[3]
