Fez is home to one of the earliest known centers of psychosocial care in the Islamic world: the <strong>Maristan of Sidi Frej<\/strong>, founded in the late 13th century. \n    <\/p>\n    \n    <p class=\"why-fez-text\">\n      Historically, Maristans were not only medical institutions but also spaces of dignity and care for the mentally ill and vulnerable long before modern frameworks of mental health were established. This legacy resonates strongly with the Gathering\u2019s commitment to art as a tool for healing and human connection.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<section style=\"padding: 100px 20px;
