Pervane Madrasa
Merkez, Sinop
A madrasa with a monumental portal commissioned in 1265 by the Seljuk vizier Muînüddin Süleyman Pervâne, today with handicraft shops and a tea garden in its courtyard.
Its story
The Seljuk vizier Muînüddin Süleyman, known by the title Pervâne, became the de facto ruler of Sinop after retaking the city from the Greeks of Trebizond, and commissioned the madrasa in 1265. Student rooms line its porticoed courtyard, and the decorated portal on the facade is a fine example of Seljuk stonework. The madrasa was also used in the Candaroğulları and Ottoman periods and, after the founding of the Republic, housed the Sinop Museum between 1932 and 1970. Today local handicrafts and souvenirs are sold in the rooms around the courtyard. As it adjoins the Alaaddin Mosque, the two buildings can be visited together.
