| The original building comprised a courtyard of enormous size with a full peristyle of eight columns on a side. |
| Originally it was open to the skies, but now it has a typically 19th-century Italianate peristyle. |
| This form, upon which our modern atria are based, was enclosed on all sides by buildings with roofs sloping to a columned peristyle or walkway around a courtyard. |
| This spandrel fragment, originally from a Sa'did building in Fez, was part of the wooden facing of a peristyle arch. |
| Its white rendered facade is enhanced by quoins, a peristyle which hides the zinc-covered roof and features 6 windows set out on two stories. |
| On the four galleries of this peristyle are four apartments. They have fired-clay frescoes in which some of the tiles are of foreign provenance. |
