More recently it has been used as a museum, which it continues to host today. It is the largest madrasa in Anatolia.

Erzurum's most iconic medieval landmark features twin fluted minarets with detailing in blue glaze on brick. There's a beautifully carved main portal and a distinctive squat spire topping a grand sided domed hall, beneath which the founder of the medrese might have been buried. The site no longer functions as an Islamic seminary but its shell of stone interiors, including a porticoed central mini-garden, are freely open to visitors. It's across a small park from the castle. The medrese was built in the second half of the 13th century, after the Mongols had taken over the city from the Seljuks. Historians differ over whether it was constructed by Hundi Hatun, the daughter of a Seljuk sultan, or Padisah Hatun, wife of a Mongol khan. Cumhuriyet Caddesi.

If you would like to join us in Skopje, note that applications involving texts specifically related to the Ottoman Balkans are most welcomed. As the choice of meeting location suggests, we particularly aim to overview the ego-document corpus of the Ottoman Balkans; but we are also interested in the examples from territories outside the Balkans. Among the welcomed papers, priority will be given to texts that can be considered self-contained ego-documents from cover to cover. Hence, we prefer detached texts written as diaries, memoirs, or autobiographies. In addition, autobiographies presented as a cohesive part of a more extensive work are highly welcomed. We are particularly interested in texts that involve self-revelation or at least composed with the intention of self-expression. If you have findings that meet these criteria, we encourage you to submit your abstract half to one page, point Times New Roman, 1. Please include the archival or manuscript library citation of the relevant primary source and, if available, any relevant literature at the end of the abstract.

Planning a Trip? Ask Your Question. Central Anatolia's Kayseri, formerly Caesarea in Roman times, is located over the mountains to the west of Cappadocia. It was formerly known as Mazaka and was situated on the foothills of Mount Argaeus, the volcano now known as Erciyes. As a result, Kayseri serves as a bridge between central and southeastern Turkey and enjoys a rich blend of cultures. After Konya, Kayseri is the most Islamic city in Turkey and one of the industrial powerhouses known as the "Anatolian tigers," blending Seljuk tombs, mosques, and modern construction. Kayseri is a hinterland for winter sports lovers, owing to its proximity to Mount Erciyes, a renowned site for skiing. In addition, the Karpuzbasi waterfalls are situated 76 kms from Kayseri and are visited frequently.
