Turkey - Konya - Karatay Medrese
Karatay Medrese is a medrese (a school with a frequently but not absolutely religious focus) built in Konya, Turkey, in 1251 by the Emir of the city Celaleddin Karatay, serving the Seljuk sultan. Since 1955, it has served as a museum where Seljuk tiles are united, while artifacts in stone or in wood are on display in Ince Minaret Medrese, also in Konya. The collection of Karatay Museum was particularly enriched by the finds collected as of the 1970s in Kubadabad Palace royal summer residence on Lake Bey?ehir shore, at eighty miles from Konya to the west. A caravanserai, also built by Celaleddin Karatay in the outskirts of Konya, carries his name too. Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the circa 1910s, showcases the exterior of the historic Karatay Medrese in Konya, Turkey. A masterpiece of Seljuk architecture, the medrese was built in 1251 by Celaleddin Karatay, the Emir of Konya, serving the Seljuk sultan. This educational institution, with a frequently but not absolutely religious focus, boasts an impressive grand entrance with an intricately decorated doorway and a magnificent dome. The medrese was originally designed as a place for teaching Islamic sciences, theology, and various arts and crafts. Over the centuries, the Karatay Medrese has undergone several transformations. Since 1955, it has served as a museum, showcasing an extensive collection of Seljuk tiles. The museum's holdings were significantly enriched in the 1970s with artifacts discovered at the Kubadabad Palace, a royal summer residence located eighty miles from Konya on the shores of Lake Beysehir. The Karatay Medrese is not the only architectural marvel associated with Celaleddin Karatay in Konya; a caravanserai, also bearing his name, stands in the outskirts of the city. The Seljuk Empire, of which the Karatay Medrese is a testament, was a significant Islamic power in the Middle East from the 11th to the 13th centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and the Islamic world, providing a window into the past and the intricate beauty of Islamic architecture.
