Çifte Minareli Medrese


"Seljuk-era Masterpiece"

An architectural masterpiece from the late Seljuk era, the Cifte Minareli Medrese's magnificent twin minarets soar over the city of Erzurum. Originally founded as a center of learning, it assumed many roles through the years; from operating as a gun foundry to armory, before finally being established as a historical museum. it is believed to have been built in the late 13th Century by the daughter of the powerful Sultan Kayqubad I. The symbol of the city's political power and wealth, the madrasa's historic facade showcases extraordinary Islamic and Seljuk-style craftsmanship. The two striking minarets are embellished with uniquely detailed blue tiles, whereas the facade features a double-headed eagle. Regarded as one of Anatolia's largest madrasas, the Çifte Minareli Medrese continues to be revered as a remarkable vestige from a bygone time.
