The most attractive building in town, every couple comes here for their wedding photos. The madrasah (Islamic school) was completed in 1385 as part of a kulliye, a religious complex. You enter through a grand recessed portal. Rooms surrounding the central courtyard have beautiful wall and ceiling decorations. There’s a mosque, a mausoleum (intended for the Sultan, but unused), and an upper deck with great views.
