Minarets at beautiful entrance.  Note decorative turquoise squares below minarets.

  See full entrance photo taken by MCampbell.

The minarets are decorated with turquoise-colored glazed tiles.  To get a better look at how
the minaret tile designs are laid out, see this telephoto shot and also one
that shows only the columns of tile in close detail, both by MCampbell.

So says the plaque, but this is ignored by most writers, for some reason, who credit her father.
  I thought it an interesting piece of info, but there's not much online.  The plaque is a fun read.
  Hudavent Hatun's tomb, which you can enter, is across the courtyard from this plaque.

I also liked the designs at the top of the door, if not the modern scrawls there.

  This was in the area near the minarets and entrance.

Were're behind the Madrasha and its tomb, on the streets near Uc Kumbetler, a group of three
large circular, domed tombs.  My travel partner took a great photo of two of them
(through a gate) across from this painted cart in Old Erzurum.

That's Aykut our guide, who was seeing this site for the first time. Southeast Turkey is
not on itineraries of most tourists, but Erzurum is a very modern, bustling city with an upscale
crowd who shopped until midnight on its lively streets. Very western central area.

Otherwise, or because of it, he was a very laid-back guide who got us into two closed museums,
no small thing for us.  A good driver too, which is good for the Southeast region.

Re the next photo, of rotating lamb and beef, read more on the Erzurum variant of doner kebab,
called Cag Kebabi.

As you can see, that's a beautiful cafe, in the old part of Erzurum.
  That's my Canon Elph there.

For nightlife, Erzurum was my favorite city in Eastern Turkey.

Roll of lamb on a vertical skewer turning parallel to a hot grill ('doner' means 'to rotate' in Turkish).
  These are sliced very thin (not easily) and are absolutely DELICIOUS.
  Doner Kebab is a blend of layered lamb and ground beef marinated in seasonings. Yum!
