Sırçalı Medrese, meaning 'Glazed Madrasa,' is a masterpiece of Seljuk architecture, renowned for its brilliant turquoise-tiled dome and intricate stone carvings. Built in 1242, it once served as a theological school. Today, it functions as a museum showcasing Seljuk-era artifacts, including ceramic tiles, woodwork, and tombstones. The central courtyard, with its two-story arcade and the dazzling dome overhead, is a highlight. Visitors can explore the former student cells and the prayer hall, gaining insight into medieval Islamic education and artistry.
