Sinan Pasha Complex 1594. The complex was commissioned by Grand Vizier Great Sinan Pasha. The architect was Davud Aga, successor and student of Architect Sinan. According to the inscription on the fountain it was completed in 1594. The complex is a distinguished example of classical period architecture. Within the complex there is a madrassah (school), a tomb and a fountain. The buildings were made of carefully cut kufaki stone and surrounded by walls with iron windows. In the corner of the walls there is a fountain (sebil) for water distribution. The madrassah is made up of a rectangular courtyard surrounded by sixteen student rooms and a dershane (lecture room) attached to it. In the courtyard there is a fountain for ablution. The tomb is more elegant outside and simpler from within. The stonework around the gutters draw attention. In the 18th century the garden outide the tomb became a graveyard for those who wanted to rest in this sacred and peaceful place of learning.

A very neat and tidy madrassah and tomb buildings and courtyards. Unfortunately access is denied to view the tombs.

The place is really quiet and interesting. The staff is very friendly and open to tell you the founding of Islam. They speak English well and it is a great opportunity to find out more about this religion. I think it is a place worth to be visited. Thank you for the tea and for the cakes. :)

Was here looking for a version of the Kuran in german language because I want to read it. In additional I got some Cay, good conversations and a short lesson in calligraphy of osmanic font. I am very happy that I visited this place and found friendly and helpful people

Amazing cultural heritage site. The custodians are very cordially and friendly treated me like a brother. A very eductational tour, Thank you Burak!

The tomb of one of the great Pasha of Ottoman empire who also built a Medrese (Religious school) in this place.

A lot of people work there. All people perfect , generous and helpful people.

Free. Take your shoes off to enter the royal tomb. It's interesting to see but there isn't much more than some elaborate tombs
