Its story
The madrasa was commissioned in the mid-18th century by Çivitçioğlu Mehmet Efendi. In the two-story building, the lower floor was devoted to the students' education and the upper floor to the teachers. Its rooms arranged around a courtyard and its original fabric reflect the provincial interpretation of Ottoman madrasa architecture. After restoration, the building was repurposed to host cultural and artistic events. It is within walking distance of the other historic buildings in the city center.
