Erzurum 3075.jpg

The Yakutiye Medresesi (a medrese is a Koran School)has been built in 1310 by the Mongol Cemaleddin Hoca Yakut Gazani. It houses a decent although small museum, but I mainly like it’s nice setting in a park, other ancient buildings standing close, and the stone carving on the exterior. As so often it is mainly the ornamental gate that attracts the attention.

There is also a türbe or grave monument at the end of the central hall, that I have never managerd to visit, but that can be seen from the outside.

This is some ornamentation inside. It is the roof of the central hall.
