The Ibrahim Bey Imaret dates from 1433. It was a continuation of the Seljuk style, it is in the tradition of the Karatay Medrese and the Ince Minare Medrese in Konya. The inner court is covered. To the right side of the mosque there is the türbe of the founder, emir Ibrahim Bey. In front of the mosque stands the Ibrahim Bey Çeşmesi, also built in Seljuk style.

On the picture: The very long ‘kitabe’ (building inscription) above the entrance door to the medrese/cami. It is written in nesih script, in an elaborate calligraphic form, but (reportedly) it can be read easily nevertheless. Additionally to the usual information (date, builder) this inscription dedicates the complex to “the poor, the sick, the strangers, to muslims of all nominations, to the elderly, to the Şeyhs as well as to the neediest of the poor, to travellers passing by”, offering them “a place to sleep or rest, a mosque, a house where Kuran is known and explained, and where there is food provided to all guests”.

Nesih (or Naskh, from the Arabic: نسخ‎ ) is a specific calligraphic style for writing in the Arabic alphabet, thought to be invented around 900 AD. The root of this Arabic term nasakh-a (نسخ) means "to copy". It either refers to the fact that it replaced its predecessor, Kufic script, or that this style allows faster copying of texts. With small modifications, it is the style most commonly used for printing Arabic, Persian, Pashto and Sindhi languages.
