Gök Medrese
1271
Seljuk


The Gök Madrasa is one of three madrasas built in Sivas in 1271, the others being the Burujirdi Madrasa and the Çifte Minare Madrasa. The construction was funded by Vizier Sahip Ata during the rule of Giyaseddin Keyhüsrev III, and built in stone by the mason and architect Kaluyan el-Konevi (of Konya). The Gök Madrasa was originally part of a much larger building complex of which little remains. In plan, proportion, and decoration it is the most developed of all Seljuk madrasas. The portal is marble and ornately carved throughout with Seljuk motifs, inscriptions, and figural relief. The minarets are built of red brick with decoration in black and blue tile.
