Çifte Minareli Medrese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Çifte Minareli Medrese is an architectural monument of the late Seljuk period in the Turkish city of Erzurum. Built as a theological school a few years before 1265,[1] it takes its name, Twin Minaret Madrasah, from the two fluted minarets that crown the monumental façade. The Çifte Minareli Medrese is thought to be the model for the Gök Medrese in Sivas.
