Karaman 2010 2146.jpg

view map

Entrance of the Nefise Sultan Medresesi, Hatuniye made it, in 1382, the Karamanoğlu era. On another site I found that its architect seems te have been Mimar Numan bin Hoca Ahmed, his name is on an inscription to the left of the door.

On the picture: The marble arch of the entrance door, and the building inscription with its three long lines of calligraphy in Arabic script.
