Its story
The Buruciye, or Hacı Mes'ud Madrasa, was commissioned in 1271, in the time of Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev III, by Muzafferüddin, who came from Borujerd in Iran. For many years it was used as an educational institution where the positive sciences of the period were taught. Around the open courtyard are columned arcades, cells and the main iwan. In the tomb to the left of the entrance door, the graves of Muzaffer Bey, who commissioned the building, and his children are in a space decorated with blue and black tiles. The star, rumi and geometric motifs on the portal are carved like lace.
