Its story
The madrasa was commissioned in 1277 by the Seljuk vizier Muineddin Pervane Süleyman. The two-story, two-iwan building with an open courtyard is, with the aubergine-purple, navy and turquoise tiles on its inner facades, one of the important examples of Anatolian tile art. It was also used as a hospital (darüşşifa) in the Ottoman period; from 1926 to 2012 it housed the Tokat Museum. Restored between 2020 and 2025, the building was transferred in April 2025 to Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University for events.
