The
construction
of
the
madrasah,
which
has
survived
until
today
with
its
perfect
structure,
started
in
the
Artuqid
Period
and
was
completed
in
1457-1502
during
the
reign
of
Akkoyunlu
Ruler
Cihangiroğlu
Kasım
Padishah.
Smooth
cut
stone
was
used
in
the
construction
of
the
two-storey,
domed,
single
and
open
courtyard
madrasah.
The
structure,
which
attracts
attention
in
terms
of
its
plan
features,
stonework
and
ornament
motifs,
is
located
in
the
complex
together
with
the
mosque
and
tomb.
There
is
a
fountain
and
a
large
pool
in
the
courtyard
of
the
madrasah.
The
madrasah,
which
has
an
open
front
to
the
plain
in
the
south,
is
one
of
the
largest
structures
in
Mardin.
It
is
open
madrasah
type,
arranged
around
a
single
courtyard,
has
two
floors
and
a
single
iwan.
It
is
made
of
cut
stone
and
bricks.
It
is
entered
from
the
south
side
by
passing
through
a
barrel
vaulted
corridor
connected
by
a
crown
door.
There
is
an
independent
masjid
place
on
the
west,
which
has
the
same
entrance
as
the
other
parts.
There
is
a
mosque
rising
on
two
floors
in
the
east.
It
consists
of
cells
lined
up
between
the
cloisters
on
two
floors,
around
the
large
courtyard
with
a
portico,
which
is
entered
through
the
portal.
To
the
north
of
the
courtyard,
there
is
a
large
iwan
that
cuts
the
second
floor
and
a
pool
in
front
of
it.
This
place
should
have
been
thought
of
as
a
complex,
not
as
a
madrasah
on
its
own.
The
zawiya-shrine
next
to
it
is
proof
of
that."
