As part of the külliye (a complex of several facilities like a soup kitchen, Koran school, hospital) the Beyazit II mosque in Edirne there used to be what we'd now call a psychiatric ward. It has been restored in style, and through very many rooms one is shown how the several types of patiens were treated. Music (some ten musicians practised musical therapy, against pain as well as madness), flowing waters and a fine garden would help them improve. And this far ahead of Pinel!

I decided to put those pictures in a gallery of their own. Here they are. For another medical museum in Kayseri, in good surrounding but with hardly anything to show, click here.
