Kayseri, Turkey skyline: the 26 most iconic buildings and best views in Kayseri

Initially the fortress and its walls were built during the reign of the Roman emperor Gordiouns III (238-244). Since then it underwent many additions and changes. Visiting this fortress will allow you access only to its inner courtyard. You cannot go up any of its walls or towers.

Kayseri Castle, located right in the heart of the city, is one of the most iconic landmarks in central Türkiye. Steeped in centuries of history, this impressive fortress has witnessed the rise and fall of great civilizations — from the Roman Empire to the Seljuks, the Ottomans, and into modern-day Turkey. Its thick, well-preserved stone walls and sturdy towers stand as silent storytellers of the countless events that have shaped the region. Walking through the gates of the castle feels almost like stepping into another era. Each section reveals a different layer of history, visible in the architectural details, construction styles, and even the materials used. You can almost imagine the bustling life that once filled its courtyards — merchants, soldiers, and townsfolk going about their daily routines. Inside the castle, history blends beautifully with modern-day charm. Nestled among the ancient structures are cozy cafés and charming restaurants, perfect for taking a break, sipping a cup of Turkish coffee, and soaking in the atmosphere. Whether you’re there to explore its rich heritage, capture stunning photographs, or simply relax in a unique setting, Kayseri Castle offers an unforgettable experience. It’s more than just a historical site — it’s a living connection to Turkey’s past and present.

definitely worth a visit. Wasn't inside the museum, but what you can see of the castle is impressive. Had a wonderful Turkish coffe inside the castle area.

Super clean and well equipped castle. We visited it at night after they turned on the lighting and the walls looked super good. Inside, you will find a museum and other stuff to visit. It seems to be recently renovated as everything is in very good shape.

The castle is massive and greatly maintained. Have some restaurants n coffee shops inside but they are built in modern style. If they had followed the traditional castle, it would have added more beauty to the castle

Astonishing architecture! I like the shape of the castle and it's really majestic. There is an archeology museum inside which cost 20₺ to visit (you can enter freely with müze kart). I recommend to visit this castle in winter when snowing. Really unforgetable experience.

Very beautiful and clean. Parking outside the door for a small price. The umbrella art was very beautiful as well. I definitely recommend a visit during your trip to Kayseri.

The Clock Tower was commissioned by Salih Usta of Tavlusun with the decree of Abdülhamit Il and the support of Kayseri Governor Haydar Bey in 1906. The rectangular venue adjacent to this structure was constructed as a time chamber. The 15-meter high clock tower can be ascended via a spiral staircase.

This clock tower stands right on the main square in front of the Kayseri castle and beside the Ataturk equestrian statue. It marks the entrance to the castle which is very nice to visit.

It located in the centre of cumhuriyet square. I don't know about the history behind it, but it was really beautiful building.

Old and butifully place

Super

Beautiful place 😍

Cute

Absolutely beautiful mosque with historical significance.

It's beautiful to visit the historical sites as Hunat Hatun.

The oldest mosque in Kayseri

Historic mosque.

One of the oldest Islamic center of Kayseri since Seljuk Empire

(Translated by Google) Kayseri, one of the most beautiful cities in Anatolia, where the pristine Seljuk domes flourish, is a city worth visiting for its uniquely beautiful mosques, massive plane trees, and bustling streets. (Original) Kayseri, Anadolu'da çil çil Selçuklu kubbelerinin serpilldiği en güzel şehirlerde birisi. Eşsiz güzellikteki camileri, devasa çınarları ve kalabalık sokaklarıyla ziyaret edilesi bir şehir.

(Translated by Google) This historical monument has been beautifully restored. It features small artisan shops. Inside, there's a cafe run by the municipality, creating a pleasant space with seating. (Original) Bu tarihi Eser güzel restore edilmiş. Küçük zanaatkar dúnkanlari mevcut. İçerisinde belediyenin işlettiği bir cafe mevcut oturma yerleri ile hoş bir mekan olmuş.

friendly local people, good selection for shopping in the bazaar

Great experience, selers are great, you will find whatever you looking for, and you can negotiate almost every price.

I LOOOOOOVED my experience there! It was such a cool place and different from everything else I had seen in my life! Although if you are a tourist and you don't speak turkish, beware. Some will try to overcharge you. Try going with a native! Your experience will be better anyway with a friend or two! I also bought my skz shoes there for a veeeery low price compared to if I bought it back home in Canada.

Krásné místoBeautiful place in the city center, quite nice goods. The impression is somewhat spoiled by pushy carpet salesmen. It was the first time I visited such a big bazaar.

Stuffy and smoky. Definitely a lot of selection but quality is quite poor compared to the markets in Istanbul. Bonus is the vendors aren’t as pushy and prices seem quite reasonable (but of course, you’ll need to negotiate).

Really nice place to visit if you want to do an all day long shopping spree, lots of souvenirs shops clothing stores and restaurants, supermarkets and almost anything you can think of. Do some clothes shopping, have lunch, buy some souvenirs, have dinner, see the sight, and so on... Tip, it never hurts to bargain.

The market is nice to walk at and have a good time, but the quality of the products are mostly below average. You can still find some shops selling good quality but you have to look at.

The mosque was build in 1574 by Doganci Haci Ahmet Pasha. It is one of Mimar Sinan's works of art in Kayseri.

Kayseri is the ancient city of Anatolia. You need do see

An interesting place to gain insights into the Seljuck culture. I found myself wanting more, however. I was disappointed not to see the Museum of Medicine - I didn't find it there. It's an open air museum, so quite cold in winter. For 15TRY its worth the trip.

As per the will of his sister Gevher Nesibe, who died.of an illness, the Anatolian Seljuk State Sultan Giyaseddin Keyhüsrev I commissioned this structure in the year 1204. The structure is comprised of a medica madrasah, hospital and a mental asylum. The madrasah is regarded as the Anatolia's first applied medicine madrasah and hospital. Currently it houses the Seljuk Civilization Museum.

The entrance fee per january 2024 is 15 TL/person. It is a well designed/planned museum with limited English description/stories but they put an english note on most objects. The overall museum is bigger than what it seem, I really like the lay out of it. Do not skip the music/theraphy hall it is pretty, so is the hammam. I got a bit of shock with sudden human model in this hall, just be aware. The museum is empty, I can enjoy all of it by myself (went there around 10am).

The museum is located in a central area so visiting it is easy. The architecture and the design of each room are very nice and have a nostalgic feeling. While you are visiting parts of the museum, you listen to very relaxing music and tunes that make you feel like in past times. Entrance fee is 30 TRY

The museum is located in former medrese from 15th century named Sifasiye medresesi. The entrance cost is 5₺. It really represent the civilization of seljuk in anatolia particularly.

Too much cold if visiting in winter. It's really warmer outside the walls of the museum. Most part of exhibits does not have translations. Entrance fee is 2 lira.

This is a very good and informing museum in the very center of Kayseri, right inside a beautiful park. The museum is about the Seljuks, which occupied large territories in Asia from early medieval times, focusing on their origins, history and culture. Don't expect a world class museum, but honestly it exceeded my expectations with a great layout and some interactive displays. Symbolic entry fee of 4TL, count on 1 hour for a visit

This mosque and its complex are among the most important buildings of the 13th century Seljuaks period.

One of the best Historically places I've visited. The place is ancient, reserved price and quite. Every stone is protected and the Mirab is just another story. The graves Inside are for all imams of the mosque. I will come back again

Hunat Mosque was amazing!! After many years I visited it also prayed on holy friday noon. Hunat Mosque is very old and beautiful mosque in Kayseri, definitely a must see and visit it!

It is a magneficent mosque which you must see. It is a type of Old Seljukian-Anatolian mosque. It is different from other typical mosques.

The Hunat Mosque, built in 1238 AD, is a remarkable example of Seljuk architecture. The complex features a mosque, a medrese, a hamam, and the tomb of Mahperi Hatun, showcasing beautifully carved stone gates and an original wooden minbar. A historic and spiritual gem, it reflects the era’s cultural and educational significance. Follow me to explore Islamic heritage.

Beautiful old mosque

A historical mosque with wonderful architecture and perfect location

The three sarcophaguses found in the tomb belong to Hunat Hatun, Selçuki Hatun (daughter of Giyaseddin Keyhüsrev) and an unknown woman from the dynasty. You can see the exterior of the tomb from inside the mosque and through glass windows. You can go inside the tomb from the madrasa behind the mosque.

(Translated by Google) Hunat Hatun Tomb was built in the classical Seljuk style and is the most ornamental and spectacular tomb in Kayseri. It was built in 1238 by Mahperi Hunat Hatun, the wife of Seljuk Ruler Alaaddin Keykubat I. Hunat Hatun Tomb (dome), one of the structures of the Hunat Hatun Social Complex, is a building located between the mosque and the madrasa and was added to the building group later. It was built in 1238 by Mahperi Hunat Hatun, the wife of Seljuk Ruler Alaaddin Keykubat I. Hunat Hatun Tomb was built in the classical Seljuk style and is the most ornate and spectacular tomb in Kayseri. However, since its location is between the mosque and the madrasah and the (west) side facing the street is closed by a wall, only its cone is visible from the outside. While the courtyard where the tomb is located can be accessed from within the mosque, the interior of the tomb can be reached from within the madrasa via stairs. The tomb, which is one of the works symbolizing the peak of Seljuk art with its stone decorations on its exterior, is an eight-sided structure placed on a square base. The dimensions of the square pedestal it sits on are 8.3X7.6 meters. Between the pedestal and the ground on which the tomb sits (except for the facade of the tomb adjacent to the madrasah), the east, west and south facades were given 5 rows of muqarnas, and in this way, the dimensions of the area on which the tomb sits reached 9X9 meters. There are colonnades at the corners of the building. The outer surfaces have double arches and legs. The surfaces of the arches, the columns at the corners and the triangular spaces at the top of the arches are each decorated with separate geometric motifs. A belt with thuluth inscription in relief surrounds the tomb, 4.90 meters above the ground where the building sits. This thuluth script is Ayet'el Kürsi. The muqarnas belt, located just above this belt, goes around the entire perimeter together with the colonnades. An octagonal pyramid covers the tomb from the outside. The inside view of this pyramid is in dome shape. The southern wall of the interior is completely covered by mirabiya and is decorated. There are three sarcophagi inside the tomb. The closest thing to the mihrabiye in the tomb is the sarcophagus of Mahperi Hunat Hatun in the form of a marble sarcophagus. It is known that the sarcophagus in the middle belongs to Selçuk Hatun, but it is not known to whom the sarcophagus near the entrance belongs. (Original) Hunat Hatun Türbesi klasik Selçuklu üslubunda yapılmış olup, Kayseri'nin en süslü ve en gösterişli türbesidir. Selçuklu Hükümdarı I. Alaaddin Keykubat’ın karısı Mahperi Hunat Hatun tarafından 1238 yılında yaptırılmıştır. Hunat Hatun Külliyesi'nin yapılarından biri olan Hunat Hatun Türbesi (kümbeti), cami ile medrese arasında bulunan ve yapı grubuna sonradan eklenmiş olan bir yapıdır. Selçuklu Hükümdarı I. Alaaddin Keykubat’ın karısı Mahperi Hunat Hatun tarafından 1238 yılında yaptırılmıştır. Hunat Hatun Türbesi klasik Selçuklu üslubunda yapılmış olup, Kayseri'nin en süslü ve gösterişli kümbetidir. Ancak konum olarak cami ile medrese arasında kaldığı ve caddeye bakan (batı) yüzü duvar ile kapandığından, dışarıdan sadece külahı görünmektedir. Kümbetin bulunduğu avluya cami içerisinden ulaşılırken, kümbetin içine ise merdivenle medrese içinden ulaşılır. Dış cephesi üzerindeki taş süslemeleri ile Selçuklu sanatının doruk noktasını simgeleyen eserlerden biri olan kümbet, kare bir kaide üzerine oturtulmuş sekiz cepheli bir yapıdır. Üzerine oturduğu kare kaidenin ölçüleri 8.3X7.6 metredir. Kaide ile kümbetin oturduğu zemin arasında (kümbetin medrese ile bitişik cephesi hariç) doğu, batı ve güney cephelerine 5 sıra halindeki mukarnasla dışarı çıkma verilmiş ve bu şekilde kümbetin oturduğu alanın ölçüleri 9X9 metreye ulaşmıştır. Yapının köşelerinde sütunçeler vardır. Dış yüzeyler çift kemerli ve ayaklıdırlar. Kemerlerin yüzeyleri, köşelerdeki sütunçeler ve kemerlerin üst tarafında kalan üçgen boşlukların her biri ayrı ayrı geometrik motiflerle bezenmişlerdir. Yapının oturduğu zeminden 4.90 metre yukarıda kabartma sülüs yazılı bir kuşak kümbetin çevresini sarar. Bu sülüs yazı, Ayet’el Kürsi’dir. Bu kuşağın hemen üstünden yer alan mukarnas kuşak, sütunçelerle beraber tüm çevreyi dolaşmaktadır. Türbenin üstünü dıştan sekizgen bir piramit örtmektedir. Bu piramidin içeriden görünümü ise kubbe biçimindedir. İç cephede güney duvarını tamamıyla mirabiye kaplar ve bezemelidir. Türbe içerisinde üç sanduka vardır. Türbe içindeki mihrabiyeye en yakın olan, Mahperi Hunat Hatun'un mermer bir lahit şeklindeki sandukasıdır. Ortadaki sandukanın Selçuk Hatun’a ait olduğu bilinmekte, girişe yakın olan sandukanın kime ait olduğu ise bilinmemektedir.

(Translated by Google) The octagonal mausoleum of Huand Hatun, whose door is led by a corridor staircase with simple decoration from the corner cell in the classroom to the right of the madrasa, consists of a closed basement where the bodies are buried in the classic Seljuk style, the upper floor with the altar with the sarcophagus and the bay covering the dome. Between the mosque and the madrasa and according to the determination of Halk Karamağaralı, both the mosque and the madrasa were forcibly built without a portal in place of an older building. The floor of the dome is also decorated with marble muqarnas, and the outer surface in particular is decorated. What is striking is the belt with the inscription Âyetü'l-Kürsî, which moves under the cone with the windows with muzeyyen stitching. Of the three sarcophagi in the tomb, Huand Hatun's consisted of an ancient sarcophagus lid; Although his inscription does not contain a date, his son is II. It is also stated that Keykhusrev died. One of the other sarcophagi belongs to Selçuk Hatun, his grandson; The third, plastered with Khorasan mortar, has no inscription. This visit was part of the daily program on August 18, 2020, which we described in detail with photos in the “Kayseri tour report”. (Original) Das achteckige Mausoleum von Huand Hatun, dessen Tür durch eine Korridortreppe mit einfacher Dekoration von der Eckzelle im Klassenzimmer rechts von der Madrasa geführt wird, besteht aus einem geschlossenen Untergeschoss, in dem die Leichen im klassischen seldschukischen Stil begraben sind, dem Obergeschoss mit dem Altar mit dem Sarkophag und der Bucht, die die Kuppel bedeckt. Zwischen der Moschee und der Madrasa und nach der Entschlossenheit von Halk Karamağaralı wurden sowohl die Moschee als auch die Madrasa zwangsweise ohne Portal anstelle eines älteren Gebäudes gebaut. Der Boden der Kuppel ist ebenfalls mit Marmor-Muqarnas verziert, und insbesondere die äußere Oberfläche ist verziert. Auffällig ist der Gürtel mit der Aufschrift Âyetü'l-Kürsî, der mit den Fenstern mit Muzeyyen-Naht unter dem Kegel wandert. Von den drei Sarkophagen im Grab bestand Huand Hatuns aus einem alten Sarkophagdeckel; Obwohl seine Inschrift kein Datum enthält, ist sein Sohn II. Es wird auch angegeben, dass Keykhusrev gestorben ist. Einer der anderen Sarkophage gehört Selçuk Hatun, seinem Enkel; Der dritte, der mit Khorasan-Mörtel verputzt ist, ist ohne Inschrift. Diese Besichtigung war Bestandteil des Tagesprogramms vom 18.08.2020, den wir im "Reisebericht Rundreise Kayseri" ausführlich mit Fotos beschrieben haben.

(Translated by Google) The tomb of Huand Hatun, which can be reached from the madrasah through a corner cell located in the classroom to the right of the iwan, through a corridor-staircase with a simple decorated door, consists of a closed lower floor where the corpses are buried in the classical Seljuk style, an upper floor with a mihrab where the sarcophagi are located, and a cone covering the dome; It was built without a portal between the mosque and the madrasah and, according to Haluk Karamağaralı's findings, on the site of a building that is older than the mosque and the madrasah located here. Especially the exterior of the tomb, which has a marble muqarnas base, is decorated; The decorated pillared windows and the Âyetü'l-kursi inscribed band going under the cone attract attention. Of the three sarcophagi inside the tomb, Huand Hatun's was made from an old sarcophagus lid; Although there is no date on the inscription, his son II. It is also stated that Keyhusrev is dead. One of the other sarcophagi belongs to his grandson Selçuk Hatun; The third one, plastered with Khorasan mortar, has no inscription.

Kaidesi de mermer mukarnaslı olan kümbetin özellikle dış yüzü süslenmiştir; müzeyyen sütunçeli pencerelerle külâhın altını dolaşan Âyetü’l-kürsî yazılı kuşak dikkat çeker. Türbenin içinde yer alan üç sandukadan Huand Hatun’unki eski bir lahit kapağından yapılmıştır; kitâbesinde tarih bulunmamakla birlikte oğlu II. Keyhusrev’in ölmüş olduğu da belirtilmektedir. Diğer sandukalardan biri torunu Selçuk Hatun’a aittir; Horasan harç sıvalı olan üçüncü ise kitâbesizdir

A very nice shopping mall in the city center. It is a great relief from the heat during hot summer days.

Forum Kayseri: A Comprehensive Shopping Destination Forum Kayseri undeniably stands as Kayseri's premier shopping mall. Its prime location in the heart of the city, coupled with its expansive size, makes it a convenient and attractive destination for locals and visitors alike. The mall houses a diverse range of both national and international brands, ensuring there's something to cater to every taste and budget. Fashion enthusiasts will find themselves spoilt for choice with stores like LC Waikiki, FLO, Boyner, and DeFacto, while the mall's other offerings extend to electronics, home goods, and more. A particular highlight is the mall's extensive food court. Offering a tantalizing array of both local and international cuisines, it's the perfect spot to refuel after a shopping spree or to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends and family. While Forum Kayseri undoubtedly excels in providing a comprehensive shopping experience, it's worth noting that the mall can become quite crowded during peak shopping hours. Nevertheless, its efficient layout and ample parking facilities help to mitigate any potential inconveniences. Overall, Forum Kayseri is a must-visit for anyone exploring Kayseri. Its combination of retail therapy, dining options, and convenient location make it a standout shopping destination in the city.

Super clean top end stores all branded quality products definitely recommended and very nice food top floor plenty of different options for food very fast moving food

A beautiful and modern business center in the center of Kayseri. It is really quite vast and fragmented, so you could get lost there.

So wonderful One of the most beautiful malls that I have seen ever Everything is available here Food are very good and good price too.

They made a beautiful shopping mall, you can find anything you want, clothes. drinks, restaurants, cinema, arcade games.

One of the best malls in Kayseri. There are many Turkish and international brands. In the restaurants section on the top floor, there are many delicious foods.

The leader and founder of the Republic of Türkiye stayed in this house during his visit to Kayseri. It is a showcase of the house and the way that it was arranged in 1919 when Ataturk stayed there. The mansion was built in the 19th century in late Ottoman fashion and is known as the Imamizade Raşit Ağa Mansion. It is of great importance to this city and the heritage of this great nation.

Nice small museum without an entrance fee. It's good for city to have it. I would suggest to have the documentary movie at the entrance in English too. However, -1 star for the wrong order of boards showing Ataturk's life. Dates are correct, just boards are supposed to go from left to the right. Also wax statues of Ataturk have too much facial hair in spite of information written in the neighboring room: "Every morning, Ataturk used to have his coffee and cigarette, then his barber shaved him. After that he used to have his massage, have bath, get dressed, and go to his study. He had a second shave on the nights he went to balls. It was very important for him to be beardless, and he got very angry when he saw unshaved people in his service".

authenticity till the end..loved it

Eventhough it is small but it is interesting. The workers are very helpful and welcoming.

Wonderful memorial to Ataturk. Architecture, collection, info and film are all very nice.

A good example of hictoric houses. Atatürk stayed this one during his visit. That makes it special

Very nice musiem Must visit

It was built in 1267, during the era of the Selcuks Sultan Keyhüsrev Ill. Now there are shops and cafes here.

(Translated by Google) Sahabiye Madrasa was built in 1267 by sahibi Ata Fahrüddin Ali, one of the Seljuk viziers. The rooms of the madrasa overlooking the courtyard are used as workplaces, and the building has been restored to its original state. Although it is generally referred to as "Sahabiye", it is also known as "Sahib Ata Madrasa". (Original) Sahabiye Medresesi, 1267 yılında Selçuklu vezirlerinden Sahip Ata Fahrüddin Ali tarafından inşa ettirilmiştir. Medresenin avluya bakan odaları işyeri olarak kullanılmakta olup, yapı aslına uygun bir şekilde restore edilmiştir. Genellikle "Sahabiye" olarak anılsa da, "Sahip Ata Medresesi" adıyla da bilinmektedir.

(Translated by Google) A fine example of a madrasah, one of the most important places in Turkish educational history. It has become a place where you can relax, including a cafe and bookstores. It can be visited free of charge. (Original) Türk eğitim tarihinin en önemli mekanlarından biri olan medreselere güzel bir örnek. İçerisinde oturup dinlenebileceğiniz bir kafe ve kitapçıların olduğu bir mekan haline gelmiş. Ücretsiz ziyaret edilebilir.

(Translated by Google) Sahabiye Madrasa is a treasure that best reflects the historical texture of Kayseri. Every time I visit, this magnificent structure fascinates me and takes me on a journey into the past. The historical atmosphere of the madrasa from the 13th century surrounds you the moment you step here. Stone workmanship, architectural details and historical richness have turned into a real work of art. I can't think of a better place to relax and be in touch with history in this magnificent atmosphere. I highly recommend everyone take a break at this beautiful place, take time to feel the surroundings and have a cup of tea. The peaceful garden surrounding it completes the atmosphere of the madrasa. Visitors can enjoy a cup of tea surrounded by history and enjoy the beauties of this unique place. (Original) Sahabiye Medresesi, Kayseri'nin tarih kokan dokusunu en iyi yansıtan bir hazinedir. Her ziyaretimde, bu muazzam yapı beni büyüler ve geçmişe bir yolculuğa çıkarır. Medresenin 13. yüzyıldan kalma tarihi atmosferi, buraya adım attığınız anda sizi sarar. Taş işçiliği, mimari detaylar ve tarihî zenginlik, gerçek bir sanat eserine dönüşmüş. Bu muazzam atmosferde kafa dinlemek ve tarihle iç içe olmak için daha iyi bir yer düşünemem. Herkesin bu güzel mekanda bir ara verip, çevreyi hissetmek ve bir fincan çay içmek için zaman ayırmasını şiddetle öneririm. Çevresindeki huzurlu bahçe, medresenin atmosferini tamamlıyor. Ziyaretçiler, tarihle iç içe bir çay keyfi yapabilir ve bu eşsiz mekanın güzelliklerinin tadını çıkarabilir.

(Translated by Google) The second-hand second-hand bookstore is in a wonderful location, in the corner of the square on the station street side. It offers both a peaceful, mystical atmosphere to sit and relax, drink coffee and tea, and chat, as well as a special atmosphere for book lovers. Its central location is also very nice. Just ahead, there is the Kurşunlu mosque, the square mosque and the city castle, which layer the spirituality with their location. It would be much better if the color riot of the interior was reduced a little and simplicity was preserved. There is literally noise in the eyes, it is painful. (Original) Meydanın istasyon caddesi tarafında baş köşede, şahane bir konumda sahaflar çarşısı. Hem oturup dinlenmek, kahve çay içmek, sohbet etmek için huzurlu mistik bir atmosfer hem kitapseverler için şahsına münhasır özel bir atmosfer imkanı. Merkezi konumda oluşu da ayrıca çok güzel. Az ilerde Kurşunlu camii, meydan camii, şehir kalesi var ki konum olarak ruhaniyeti katmanlandırıyor. İçerinin renk cümbüşü biraz azaltılsa ve sadelik korunsa çok daha iyi olurmuş. Göz gürültüsü oluşuyor resmen, elem veriyor.

This is the place where people wash before prayer. It is next to the mosque.

(Translated by Google) Although it is not known exactly when it was built, it is estimated that it was built in the early 18th century. Because there is no construction inscription. Instead, there are three repair inscriptions placed on the arches. It was repaired in 1784, 1868 and 1906. (Original) Tam olarak hangi tarihte yaptırıldığı bilinmemekle beraber 18. Yüzyılın başlarında yaptırıldığı tahmin edilmektedir. Çünkü inşa kitabesi mevcut değildir.

The mosque was built in 1249, during the period of izzettin Keykavus II. It was restored in 1547, during the period of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman. The complex of the mosquet also has a madrasa. The minaret was added to the building in 1901.

Nice piece of Seljuk of Rum architecture.

Pretty mosque, but the entrance is a bit confusing. Only open near praying time

(Translated by Google) Another impressive Anatolian Seljuk period structure that you can visit in Kocasinan, one of the central districts of Kayseri, is the Hacı Kılıç Mosque and Madrasa. The madrasah, which is of special importance because it is one of the last madrasahs built by the Anatolian Seljuk State and draws attention with its architecture that has remained intact for hundreds of years, was built with a rectangular plan and thick stone walls. You can visit the arched doors of the madrasah, where religious education has been provided for hundreds of years, impressive stone carvings, and the interior decorated with motifs reflecting the Anatolian Seljuk period, and see the late Seljuk architecture closely. (Original) Kayseri'nin merkez ilçelerinden Kocasinan’da gezebileceğiniz başka bir etkileyici Anadolu Selçuklu dönemi yapısı da Hacı Kılıç Camii ve Medresesi. Anadolu Selçuklu Devleti'nin inşa ettiği son medreselerinden olduğu için özel öneme sahip olan ve yüzlerce yıldır sağlam kalan mimarisiyle dikkat çeken medrese, dikdörtgen planlı ve kalın taş duvarlarla inşa edilmiş. Yüzlerce yıl boyunca dini eğitimler verilen medresesin kemerli kapıları, etkileyici taş oymaları, Anadolu Selçuklu dönemini yansıtan motiflerle süslenmiş iç bölümlerini gezebilir ve son dönem Selçuklu mimarisini yakından görebilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) It was built in 1249 by Ebül Kasım İbn-i Ali Eltusi during the reign of İzzettin Keykavus II, one of the Seljuk Sultans. It was repaired in 1547 by Hüseyin Bey, the Sanjak Bey of Aksaray during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, and recently restored by the General Directorate of Foundations. The mosque-madrasa complex is the last example of its time among the structures. The current minaret was added in 1901. Ebül Kasım's tomb is in Tokat. The rectangular structure features a mosque to the south, and a madrasah with a porticoed courtyard to the north. The mosque is essentially built on the deep-sloping plan type, common and developed during the Anatolian Seljuk period. It is a rare example of a mosque style integrated with a madrasah around a courtyard, with a longitudinal plan perpendicular to the mihrab wall. Although the entrances to the mosque and madrasah are separate, a wide opening inside connects the prayer hall and the madrasah courtyard. Hüseyin Bey's tomb was originally located on the road east of the Hacı Kılıç Mosque but was later moved to the side of the minaret. His epitaph refers to him as "Hüseyin Bey, son of Sinan Bey, Mirliva of Aksaray." This information corrects the misreadings of some historians: although Hüseyin Bey left lasting works in Kayseri, his place of duty was Aksaray. His connection to this city likely stemmed from his family roots or religious/social affiliations. (Original) Selçuklu Sultanlarından II. İzzettin Keykavus döneminde Ebül Kasım İbn-i Ali Eltusi tarafından 1249 yılında yaptırılmıştır.1547'de Kanuni Sultan Süleyman dönemi Aksaray Sancak Bey'i Hüseyin Bey tarafından tamir ettirilmiştir ve yakın geçmişte Vakıflar Genel müdürlüğü tarafından restore edilmiştir. Cami-medrese kompleksi yapılar içinde döneminin son örneğidir. Mevcut minare 1901 yılında ilave edilmiştir. Ebül Kasım'ın mezarı Tokat'tadır. Dikdörtgen şeklindeki yapının güneyinde cami, kuzeyinde revaklı avlulu medrese yer almaktadır. Cami esas itibarıyla Anadolu Selçuklular devrinde görülen ve gelişen, derinlemesine yönelen plan tipinde inşa edilmiştir. Mihrab duvarına dik uzunlamasına planlı, cami tipinin bir avlu etrafında medrese ile kaynaştırılmış nadir örneğidir. Cami ile medresenin girişleri her ne kadar ayrı ise de içeride harim ile medresenin avlusunu birbirine bağlayan geniş bir açıklık bulunmaktadır. Hüseyin Bey’in mezarı, ilk olarak Hacı Kılıç Camii’nin doğusundaki yolda yer alırken, daha sonra minarenin yanına taşınmıştır. Mezar kitabesinde kendisinden “Aksaray Mirlivası Sinan Bey oğlu Hüseyin Bey” olarak söz edilir. Bu bilgi, bazı tarihçilerin yaptığı yanlış okumaları düzeltir: Hüseyin Bey, Kayseri’de kalıcı eserler bıraksa da görev yaptığı yer Aksaray’dır. Onun bu şehirle olan bağı, muhtemelen aile kökenlerinden veya dini/sosyal aidiyetlerinden kaynaklanmaktadır.

(Translated by Google) The mosque, located on the side of the main road, is open to visitors and worship. You can leave your car in the parking lots next door or opposite. It was built by the Anatolian Seljuk Ruler İzzeddin Keykavus in 1249. There is a mosque in the south of the rectangular structure, and a madrasah with a portico and a courtyard in the north. The mosque, which is still open for worship today, is a rare example of its type combined with a madrasa around a courtyard. The crown doors, east window and mihrab are decorated with low relief technique on stone. The eastern facade, unlike the other facades, is covered with smooth cut stone. The madrasa was rebuilt in 1547. (Original) Ana yolun kenarında kalan camii, ziyarete ve ibadete açıktır. Arabanızı yan taraftaki yada karşıdaki park yerlerine bırakabilirsiniz. Anadolu Selçuklu Hükümdarı İzzeddin Keykavus tarafından 1249 yılında yaptırılmıştır. Dikdörtgen şeklindeki yapının güneyinde cami, kuzeyinde revaklı avlulu medrese yer almaktadır. Günümüzde de ibadete açık olan cami, tipinin bir avlu etrafında medrese ile kaynaştırılmış nadir örneğidir. Taç kapılar, doğu penceresi ve mihrap taş üzerine alçak kabartma tekniğiyle bezenmiştir. Doğu cephesi diğer cephelerden farklı olarak düzgün kesme taş kaplamalıdır. Medrese 1547 yılında yeniden inşa edilmiştir.

(Translated by Google) It is located on İstasyon Street in the Gevhernesibe district. It was built in AH 647 (AD 1250) by the Seljuk emir Abu'l-Qāsım ibn Ali al-Tūsī on the orders of Kaykaus II. The origin of the complex's name is unknown, but it is thought to be Hacı Kılıç's nickname for Abu'l-Qāsım-ı Tūsī. The complex consists of a mosque and a madrasa. Both structures are constructed of cut stone, with spolia used in the southern facade of the mosque; the madrasa's walls have been completely renovated during renovations. Two cylindrical towers stand at the southeast corner of the mosque and a square prism at the northwest corner of the madrasa, serving as supports for the complex. This beautiful mosque, located very close to Gevhernesibe, is a must-see. It has a unique atmosphere. (Original) Gevhernesibe mevkiinde İstasyon caddesi üzerinde yer almaktadır. II. Keykâvus’un emriyle Selçuklu emîrlerinden Ebü’l-Kāsım b. Ali et-Tûsî tarafından h647 (m1250) yılında yaptırılmıştır. Külliyenin adının nereden geldiği bilinmemekte, Hacı Kılıç’ın Ebü’l-Kāsım-ı Tûsî’nin lakabı olabileceği düşünülmektedir Külliye cami ile medreseden oluşmaktadır. Her iki yapı da kesme taştan inşa edilmiş, caminin güney cephe duvar örgüsünde devşirme malzeme de kullanılmıştır; medresenin duvarları geçirdiği onarımlarda tamamen yenilenmiş durumdadır. Yapı kompleksine destek görevi yapmak üzere caminin güneydoğu köşesinde silindir, medresenin kuzeybatı köşesinde kare prizma biçiminde iki kule bulunmaktadır. Gevhernesibeye çok yakın olan bu güzel camiye muhakkak uğramalısınız. Ayrı bir havası atmosferi var.

This Museum is really an interesting place for anyone interested in learning about this very important time in the history of Tyrkiye. The falling of the ottoman Empire and the beginning of the modern Tyrkiye. The main emphasis is on the suffering of the people and the local struggles during the resistance of foreign (European) attempts to colonize all of ottoman Empire. As a tourist I would have loved if this Museum would pay more attention to the context of the falling of the ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Tyrkiye, but you can't get all your wishes I guess... I loved the fact that this Museum actually has nearly all the information translated to English. It's really not my experience that you can expect this in Tyrkiye, unfortunately. I'd also like to highlight that we spoke to some of the people working there, and that it was very nice that they spoke very good English. Traveling around Tyrkiye I've learned that this is rare and it's really nice to have conversations beyond what Google translate can help you with. Thanks for the welcoming experience and the good advices on what to experience after the museum.

The National Struggle Museum is a great place to learn about the history of Turkey's struggle for independence. You can see a lot of interesting artifacts from the period, and learn about the different events that took place. The National Struggle Museum Milli Mücadele Müzesi is a great place to learn about the history of Turkey's struggle for independence. There are a lot of interesting exhibits about the different events that took place during the struggle, and you can see a lot of artifacts from the period. It's definitely worth a visit if you're interested in learning more about this important period in Turkish history.

super

One of the great mosques of Anatolia. Mix of Seljuk, Danishmends and Ottoman styles with Roman capitals and columns fitting the interior. Just amazing.

In my opinion, this mosque is the most beautiful yet felt classic and elegant in the same time. The interior is really elegant and located slightly under the surface. You will really feel that you were in 15th century. Worth to visit.

Very nice ancient mosque in Kayseri

great place w great architecture

Beauty of History

(Translated by Google) It is in the city center of Kayseri, next to the Grand Bazaar. Although it is known as the Ulu Mosque, it is also referred to as Cami-i Kebir or Sultan Mosque in different sources. It was built by the Danishmend ruler Melik Mehmet Gazi in H.530/AD1135. His tomb was built adjacent to the mosque on the qibla side. The Ulu Mosque was damaged by the great earthquake that occurred in 1716, and after remaining unused for 5-6 years in a dilapidated state, it was repaired by Matbah-ı Amire Emini (Palace kitchen manager) Hacı Halil Efendi from Kayseri in 1723. In this restoration, the collapsed cone part of the minaret was also renewed, and the collapsed dome and minarets were also repaired. Although it is thought to have been converted from an old church or palace due to the columns belonging to Roman and Byzantine architecture used inside, it is a unique work of Islamic architecture with its architectural plan and pointed arch applications. The use of architectural elements such as columns used inside can also be seen in many mosques in our country. (Original) Kayseri şehir merkezinde olup, Kapalıçarşı'nın yanında yer almaktadır. Ulu Cami olarak bilinmekle beraber değişik kaynaklarda Cami-i Kebir veya Sultan Cami olarak da anılmaktadır. H.530/M.1135 tarihinde, Danişmendli hükümdarı Melik Mehmet Gazi tarafından yaptırılmıştır. Türbesi de kıble tarafında camiye bitişik olarak yapılmıştır. Ulu Cami, 1716 yılında meydana gelen büyük depremden zarar görmüş, 5-6 yıl gibi bir süre harap halde kullanılmadan kaldıktan sonra 1723 yılında Matbah-ı Amire Emini (Saray mutfak sorumlusu) Kayserili Hacı Halil Efendi tarafından onartılmıştır. Bu onarımda minarenin yıkılan külah kısmı da yenilenmiş, çöken kubbesi ve minareleri de onartılmıştır. İçerisinde kullanılan Roma ve Bizans mimarilerine ait sütunlardan dolayı eski bir kiliseden veya saraydan dönüştürüldüğü düşünülmekle beraber mimarı planı ve sivri kemer uygulamaları ile İslam mimarisine özgün bir eserdir. İçeride kullanılan sütun gibi mimari elemanların kullanımı da ülkemizde birçok camide görülebilmektedir.

(Translated by Google) Kayseri Ulu Mosque, also known as Cami Kebir or Sultan Mosque and thought to have been built in 1143 during the Danishmend period, is worth seeing as one of the oldest and most impressive mosques of the city. The historical building, located on Ulu Mosque Street, after which it is named in Melikgazi district, draws attention with its columns bearing traces of Byzantine and Roman architecture as well as the early Principality architecture. Kayseri Ulu Mosque, which is thought to have been converted from an ancient church, underwent some changes and expanded during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. You can witness a combination of Roman, Byzantine, Principality, Seljuk and Ottoman architectures by visiting the Kayseri Grand Mosque, which is an impressive structure with its peaceful atmosphere, impressive interiors and exterior architecture built with cut and rubble stones. (Original) Cami Kebir veya Sultan Camii olarak da bilinen ve Danişmentliler döneminde 1143 yılında inşa edildiği düşünülen Kayseri Ulu Camii, hem şehrin en eski hem de en etkileyici camilerinden biri olarak görülmeye değer. Melikgazi ilçesinde ismini verdiği Ulu Camii Caddesi üzerinde yer alan tarihi yapı, ilk dönem Beylik mimarisinin yanı sıra Bizans ve Roma mimarisinden de izler taşıyan sütunlarıyla dikkat çekiyor. Antik bir kiliseden dönüştürüldüğü tahmin edilen Kayseri Ulu Camii, Selçuklu ile Osmanlı dönemlerinde de bazı değişikliklere uğramış ve genişletilmiş. Huzurlu atmosferi, etkileyici iç mekanları, kesme ve moloz taşlarla inşa edilmiş dış mimarisiyle etkileyici bir yapı olan Kayseri Ulu Camii’yi ziyaret ederek Roma, Bizans, Beylik, Selçuklu ve Osmanlı mimarilerinin bir birleşimine şahit olabilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) Currently being restored Kayseri Bedesten is a historical building with nine domes and four corners and was built between 1497 and 1498 by Mustafa Bey, the Governor of Kayseri at that time. Initially, Bezzazlar hosted craftsmen such as wool and fabric sellers. The building is adjacent to the third courtyard of Vezir Han and connected to the Grand Bazaar. The building, which has a square form, has doors on all four sides. While the doors in the north and south connect with the wing areas in these directions, the doors in the east and west open to Sipahi Pazari and Ulu Street. (Original) Şu anda restore edilmektedir Kayseri Bedesten, dokuz kubbeli ve dört köşeli tarihi bir yapıdır ve 1497-1498 yılları arasında Mustafa Bey, o dönemin Kayseri Valisi, tarafından inşa edilmiştir. Başlangıçta Bezzazlar, yün ve kumaş satıcıları gibi zanaatkarlara ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Yapı, Vezir Han'ın üçüncü avlusuna bitişik ve Kapalı Çarşı ile bağlantılıdır. Kare bir formu olan yapı, dört tarafında da kapılara sahiptir. Kuzey ve güneydeki kapılar bu yönlerdeki kanat alanlarıyla birleşirken, doğu ve batıdaki kapılar Sipahi Pazarı ve Ulu Sokak'a açılmaktadır.

(Translated by Google) You can reach the historical bazaar by passing through the Grand Bazaar behind the Castle. II. It was built by the son of the governor of Kayseri during the reign of Bayezid. Valuable goods of the period were sold here. The sad thing is that these and similar structures that have witnessed history have been abandoned to their fate. When you leave the covered bazaar, history haunts you. I recommend taking the guidance of history with you as you travel. (Original) Tarihi bedesten, Kalenin arka tarafında kapalı çarşı içinden geçip ulaşabilirsiniz. II. Bayezid zamanında Kayseri valisinin oğlu tarafından yaptırılmış. Dönemin kıymetli malları burada satılır imiş. Üzücü olan şey ise tarihe tanıklık etmiş bu ve benzeri yapıların, kendi kaderine terk edilmiş olmalarıdır. Bedestenden çıktığınızda tarih peşinizi bırakmıyor. Dolaşırken tarihin rehberliğini yanınıza alın derim.

(Translated by Google) Symbolic structures of Kayseri. The most interesting thing is that it was affiliated with the foundation in Bursa. (Original) Kayseri'nin simgesel yapıları. En enteresanı Bursa'daki vakıfa bağlıymış.

(Translated by Google) I added it to the list of places to see in Kayseri. I walked all that way, but it was closed due to restoration. I hope it will be presented to the public in a nice way. (Original) Kayseri de gorulecek yerler listesine eklemistim. O kadar yol yurudum Ancak restorasyon sebebiyle kapaliymis. Umarim guzel bir sekilde halka hazandirilir.

(Translated by Google) It is a really beautiful place as a street, when you look around you feel that there are historical buildings. But unfortunately, they were content to just keep going and it remained very neglected. I definitely recommend you to visit it while you are in Kayseri. (Original) Cadde olarak gerçekten çok güzel bir yer, etrafa baktığınızda tarihi yapılar olduğunu hissediyorsunuz. Fakat malesef sadece geleni devam ettirmek ile yetinmisler ve fazla bakimsiz kalmış.

(Translated by Google) Ahi Evran Zawiya, built in the 13th century, served as the center of the professional and moral organization of tradesmen and craftsmen. Ahi Evran, the leader of the Anatolian People, united tradesmen and merchants around the principles called Fütüvvetname. Today, this building is used as the Craftsmen Museum. (Original) 13. yüzyılda inşa edilen Ahi Evran Zaviyesi, esnaf ve sanatkarların mesleki ve ahlaki teşkilatının merkezi olarak hizmet vermiştir. Anadolu Ahlisinin önderi olan Ahi Evran, esnaf ve tüccarları Fütüvvetname adlı ilkeler etrafında birleştirmiştir. Günümüzde bu bina Esnaf Müzesi olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Ahiligi ve dürüst esnafligin anlatıldığı, meslek Gruplarına ayit tarihi eserlerin sergilendiği güzel bir müze olmuş. Giriş ücretsiz. Tarihi bir han içerisinde oluşturulmuş bir müze.

(Translated by Google) The museum, where the best examples of Ahilig (mastery and craftsmanship) are given and exhibited, is very surprising. It is a compact and clean museum. The toilets are clean and hygienic. There is a child care section in the sink section. It is designed to be suitable for the disabled. In Anatolia, with the motto of truth and honesty, many professions and masters in these professions have been raised, leading figures of Ahiism, patriotism and lofty people in the Islamic sense. With faith and patience, Ahilers have added a different dimension to the understanding of commerce (as it should be) by blending the profession with honesty. In fact, the Ahi trade concept still exists in some small settlements in Anatolia... My recommendation. (Original) Ahiligin (ustalık esnaflık yonu)en güzel orneklerinin verildiği ve sergilendiği müze çok şaşırtıcı.Kompakt ve tertemiz bir müze Tuvaletleri temiz ve hijyen lavabo kısmında çocuk bakım kısmı var engelliler için uygun düşünülmüş. Anadolu da doğruluk ve dürüstlük düsturu ile birçok meslek ve bu mesleklerde usta yetiştiriciliğinde önde gelen ahilik, vatan severlik ve İslami anlamda ulvi şahıslar yetiştirmiştir. İmanı sabır ile, Mesleği dürüstlükle yoğurarak Ticaret anlayışına (olması gereken) ayrı bir boyut katmışlardır Ahiler. Esasen Ahi ticaret anlayışı Anadolunun şu an bile bazı küçük yerleşim yerlerinde halen mevcuttur...Tavsiyemdir

History, architecture and spiritual atmosphere all together! It was a great pleasure to visit this magnificent structure from the Seljuk period. The area, which is both a tomb and a museum, is very impressive. We were especially impressed by the water and music treatment section. If you are ever in Kayseri, definitely stop by!

(Translated by Google) It is definitely a place that everyone should go to. It has a magnificent healing center and a museum, but the healing center is very impressive and the ambience is very impressive. While modern Europe kills mentally ill patients by nailing them in the head, you should see the modern treatment methods of our ancestors.

(Translated by Google) Köşk Madrasa - Kayseri Gültepe District is located on the hill called "Köşk Mountain". In the dome located in the middle of the madrasa, which was built in 1339 according to its inscription, there are the graves of Alaeddin Eretna, the founder of the Eretna State, his sons and his wife. It is rumored that the madrasah existed long before 1339 and that Ahi Evren's teacher, Evhadüddin Kirmani, taught here for 23 years. It cannot be entered in the current hand. The doors are closed. We are waiting for the maintenance and repairs to be made and open for visits. There is Erciyes University and a military unit just to the south. (Original) Köşk Medresesi - Kayseri Gültepe Mahallesi, ‘’Köşk Dağı’’ adı verilen tepenin üzerinde bulunmaktadır. Medresenin ortasında yer alan, kitabesine göre 1339 yılında inşa edilen kümbette, Eretna Devleti’nin kurucusu Alaeddin Eretna, oğulları ve eşinin mezarları bulunmaktadır. Medresenin 1339’dan çok önce var olduğu ve Ahi Evren’in hocası Evhadüddin Kirmani’nin burada 23 sene ders verdiği rivayet edilmektedir. Şimdiki elde içine girilememektedir. Kapılar kapalıdır. Bakım ve tamiratlarının yapılarak Ziyaretlere açık hale getirilmesini beklemekteyiz. Hemen güney tarafında Erciyes Üniversitesi ve askeri birlik vardır.

(Translated by Google) This madrasah, which gave its name to the Köşk neighborhood, is currently completely abandoned to its fate. Unfortunately, neither the Regional Directorate of Foundations nor the Melikgazi Municipality is doing any work on this place. I wonder how a generation that does not protect its past will look to the future and what kind of legacy it will leave to future generations. How would they protect their past in other countries? In our case, it is completely the opposite. This place should be opened to tourism and everyone should see it. My late father used to say that when he was a former translator of Kayseri, he brought many tourists here. I invite everyone to be a little sensitive. (Original) Köşk mahallesine adını veren bu medrese şu anda tamamen kaderine terkedilmiş bir haldedir.Maalesef ne Vakıflar Bölge Müdürlüğü nede Melikgazi Belediyesi burayla ilgili hiç bir çalışma yapmıyor.Gecmisine sahip çıkmayan bir nesil geleceğe nasıl bakacak ve gelecek nesillere nasıl bir miras bırakacak merak içindeyim.

The madrasah, which is a classical Seljuk period work with its single-storey, two iwans and porticoed courtyard, is also known as the Havuzlu Madrasah among the public due to the beautiful pool in its courtyard. You can take a historical tour of the stone madrasah, which is frequently visited by architecture enthusiasts as it reflects the early Seljuk architecture, and you can buy books that you can find in very few places from second-hand booksellers.

Tek katlı, iki eyvanı ve revaklı avlusu tarzıyla klasik bir Selçuklu dönemi eseri olan medrese, avlusundaki güzel havuzdan dolayı halk arasında Havuzlu Medrese olarak da biliniyor. İlk dönem Selçuklu mimarisini yansıttığı için mimari meraklılarının da sıkça ziyaret ettiği taş medresede hem tarih gezisi yapabilir hem de sahaflardan çok az yerde bulabileceğiniz kitapları alabilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) It is currently a private business, serving as a large bookstore. Tea and coffee drinking facilities are available. I came here to buy a book series from Gazali. And the book I found was one of the first publications in Turkey, 50 or 60 years old. They were very attentive. I left very satisfied. A historical madrasah is operated as a historical bookstore. I definitely recommend it. I left satisfied. (Original) Şu an özel bir işletme , büyük bir kitabevi olarak hizmet vermekte. Çay kahve içme imkanı mevcut. Buraya gazaliden bir kitap serisi almaya geldim. Ve bulduğum kitap 50 60 yıllık turkiyedeki ilk basimlardan biriydi. Gayet ilgili davrandılar. Çok memnun ayrıldım. Tarihi bir medrese tarihi bir kitapçı olarak işletilmekte. Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Memnun ayrıldım.

Avgunlu Madrasah is a rectangular building with a width of 15x22 meters. The entrance to the madrasah is through the door facing west. From the entrance vault you can enter a small rectangular courtyard, which immediately expands with an ivan on the right and left. The ivan on the right opens a passage to the mummified part of the tomb in the corner, and the ivan on the left opens the passage to another ivan opening vertically from the corner. There is a room between the aivan on the left and the entrance aivan. Additionally, in this area there are stairs leading up to the roof.  Today it is a place where books are sold. (Original) Медресе, расположенное в центре города, недалеко от медресе Гиясие Шифаеси в районе Орта, было построено в 13 веке. Это работа сельджуков, созданная в этом столетии.

(Translated by Google) Those who want to see how the historical massacre was carried out should definitely come and see it, but those who are on their Kayseri travel program should forget it. There is a business called Kıvılcım Kafe (it has another name, but I wanted to erase it from my memory so much that I forgot it). Everywhere, including the books and other materials sold, is full of dust and dirt. A small cup of Turkish Coffee costs an astronomical figure of 100.-TL. Oh my friend, you sacrificed history for your ambition to make money, at least you are getting this and similar fees, at least keep it clean. What a pity (Original) Tarih katliamı nasıl yapılır görmek isteyenler yolu düşerse mutlaka gelsin görsün ama Kayseri gezi programına alanlar unutsun. Kıvılcım Kafe (başka bir ismi daha var ama o kadar hafızamdan silmek istedimki unuttum) isimli bir işletme var hem Kafe hemde aynı zamanda Kırtasiye ve fakat Kardeşim Tarihi bir yana insan bir işletmeyi bu kadarmı kötü kullanır. Her yer ki buna satılan Kitap ve diğer malzemelerde dahil toz ve pis içerisinde. Küçük fincan bir Türk Kahvesi 100.-TL gibi astronomik bir rakam. Ya arkadaş Tarihi para kazanma hırsınıza kurban ettiniz bari bu ve benzeri ücreti alıyorsun bari temiz tut. Yazık

(Translated by Google) The Avgunlu Madrasa is a historic structure located in the Kocasinan district of Kayseri. It was built during the Anatolian Seljuk period in the first quarter of the 13th century. The madrasa features classical Seljuk architecture. It is a single-story structure with a porticoed courtyard, two iwans, and a portico. Its most striking feature is the two-story dome in the northwest corner. The dome's owner is unknown, but it is a truly impressive structure. The Avgunlu Madrasa is a must-see if you're in Kayseri. Unfortunately, the exact person who commissioned the Avgunlu Madrasa is unknown. However, due to its architectural features and location, it's believed to have belonged to a prominent figure of the period. An inscription in the madrasa's courtyard mentions the name "Avgunlu," suggesting that the person who gave the madrasa its name may have been Avgunlu Bey. (Original) Avgunlu Medresesi, Kayseri'nin Kocasinan ilçesinde bulunan tarihi bir yapı. Anadolu Selçuklu döneminde, 13. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde inşa edilmiş. Medrese, klasik Selçuklu mimarisine sahip. Revaklı avlulu, iki eyvanlı ve tek katlı bir yapı. Yapının en dikkat çekici özelliği, kuzeybatı köşesinde bulunan iki katlı kümbet. Kümbetin kime ait olduğu bilinmiyor ama oldukça etkileyici bir yapı. Avgunlu Medresesi, Kayseri'deyseniz mutlaka görmeniz gereken yerlerden biri. Maalesef, Avgunlu Medresesi'ni kimin yaptırdığı kesin olarak bilinmiyor. Ancak, yapının mimari özelliklerinden ve bulunduğu konumdan dolayı, dönemin ileri gelenlerinden birine ait olduğu düşünülüyor. Medresenin avlusunda bulunan kitabede "Avgunlu" ismi geçiyor, bu da medreseye adını veren kişinin Avgunlu Beyi olabileceğini düşündürüyor.
