Its story
The building, also known as the Sitti Radviyye Madrasa, was built between 1176/77 and 1184/85 and is considered an early example of iwan madrasas. Built as a rectangular, two-iwan, two-story madrasa with an arcaded courtyard, it underwent major changes over time and lost its courtyard layout. The stone decoration in the south iwan with the mihrab, used today as a mosque, shows the richness of Artuqid stonework. In a glass case beside the mihrab, a footprint attributed to the Prophet Muhammad is visited. In the domed tomb east of the iwan, the mother of Kutbettin İlgazi, who commissioned the madrasa, is known to be buried.
