Its story
The group of buildings in the southwest of the Emineddin neighborhood is attributed to Necmeddin İlgazi, the first Artuqid sultan, and his brother Emineddin; according to sources, Emineddin began the construction and İlgazi completed it after his death. The complex consists of a maristan (hospital), mosque, madrasa, hamam and fountain, and is considered one of the first known examples of a külliye in Anatolia, from the early 12th century. In front of the mosque is a stone-paved open-air prayer area (namazgâh). The complex's hamam, covered with a dome 11 meters in diameter, is the oldest known Turkish bath in Mardin, but most of it is in ruins. The nearby remains of the Necmeddin Complex also bear traces of the same period.
