Pervane Medrese (Turkish : Pervane Medresesi) is a historic madrasa, an Islamic school, in Sinop, Turkey.

Contents

It is situated in the center of the Sinop Peninsula. Another historical building, the Alaaddin Mosque is to the south of the madrasa, across the road between the two. [1]

Background

Mu'in al-Din Sulaiman Parwana, better known as Pervâne, was a vizier during the dissolution period of the Anatolian Seljuks in the second half of the 13th century. In 1262, he recaptured Sinop from the Trebizond Empire. The sultan granted Sinop to Pervane as an iqta, a fief. Although a vassal of the Seljuks, Pervane became de facto ruler of Sinop. He built the madrasa in 1265. [2] After Perwana, the madrasa was used during the Candar beylik and Ottoman Empire. After the proclamation of the Turkish Republic, madrasas were replaced by modern schools, and the Pervane Medrese was closed. From 1932 on, the madrasa building was used as a depot for archaeological artifacts and ethnographical items collected since 1921. It was established as a museum in 1941, which lasted until 1970 when the museum was moved to its new building. [3] In 2002, the building was handed over to Sinop governorship. It is now used as a souvenir shop bazaar.

Architecture

The building with the dimensions 38 m × 28 m (125 ft × 92 ft) lies in the north to south direction. A marble portal is the main entrance in the south. There are two rooms on each side of the portal. Five student cells each are situated on both side of the building. In the courtyard, there is a fountain. [4] The tombs of an admiral (Gazi Chelebi) and his daughter are also at the madrasa.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anatolian Seljuk architecture</span> Architecture associated with the Seljuks of Rum (Anatolia)

Anatolian Seljuk architecture, or simply Seljuk architecture, refers to building activity that took place under the Sultanate of Rum, ruled by an offshoot of the Seljuk dynasty that emerged from the Great Seljuk Empire alongside various other local dynasties. The Anatolian Seljuks patronized their own tradition of architecture whose surviving examples are generally found in present-day Turkey. Anatolian Seljuk architecture was eclectic and influenced by multiple traditions including Armenian, Byzantine, Iranian, and Syrian architecture. Unlike earlier Great Seljuk architecture to the east, their buildings were generally constructed in stone and featured significant stone-carved decoration as well as tile decoration. While the Seljuk Sultanate declined and ended in the late 13th century, architecture continued to flourish and diversify under the smaller Beylik states in Anatolia, which included the early Ottomans.
