Konya, Anatolia
Ince Minareli Medrese, Dar al-Hadith
1260-1265
Seldjuk
The Ince Minareli Madrasa takes its name from what was once its extremely tall minaret, currently reduced to only the lower portion. Much of the minaret collapsed in the early twentieth century. The lowermost portion of the minaret is square and built of stone, which gives way to a brick cylinder, which must have formed the bulk of its height. The brick was once covered in green tile.
However, the extraordinary feature of this medresa is its sculptural decorations.
