Karatay Medrese |
|
Karatay Medrese is a medrese, meaning a school with a frequently but not absolutely religious focus, built in Konya, Turkey, in 1251 by the Emir of the city Celaleddin Karatay, serving the Seljuk sultan.
Since 1955, the edifice serves as a museum where Seljuk tiles are
united, while artifacts in stone or in wood are on display in Ince
Minaret Medrese, also in Konya. The collection of Karatay Museum was
particularly enriched by the finds collected as of the 1970s in
Kubadabad Palace royal summer residence on Lake Beyşehir shore, at
eighty miles from Konya to the west. |
