Good to know

  • Look up at the eight flutes of the shaft: traces of the original turquoise and dark-blue tiles are still visible.
  • Inside, a glass floor panel shows historic water channels found during the 2007-2010 restoration (en.wikipedia).
  • The same complex holds the Mevlevihane museum, the Zincirkıran and Nigar Hatun tombs and the 1239 Atabey Armağan (Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev) medrese portal.
