It is located in 40 El Pacha Street.
History
Abu l-Hasan Ali I the Husainid Bey built four madrasas during his reign including the madrasa El Bachia in 1752 and the madrasa El Achouria in 1756. In the same year, he commanded that the Madrasa Bir Lahjar should be built.
The construction works finished a year later in 1757 after the death of the bey.
The madrasa hosted for decades Malikite students coming from different regions in the country.
