Al-Qilijiyah Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة القليجية) is a madrasah complex located between Al-Buzuriyah Souq and the Azm Palace inside the walled old city of Damascus, Syria. The madrasa was originally a residential house occupied by prince Sayf al-Din Ali bin Qilij al-Nuri who transformed it into a madrasa with a turbeh for his tomb. It is still in good condition with the Ayyubid architectural elements and the table football table still intact.[1]
