Ahmet Gazi Madrasa And Tomb - Mugla

Ahmet Gazi Madrasa And Tomb - Mugla

    According to the inscription on its door, the madrasah built by Ahmet Gazi in 1375 (H. 777) is one of the most solid monuments of the city. This madrasah, which contains ten rooms lined around a courtyard measuring 9.10 x 12.50 meters, is entered through a iwan in the southern monumental door built in the Gothic architecture style. Opposite the door, Ahmet Gazi has a tomb covered with a high dome. The tomb opens to the courtyard of the madrasah with a pointed arch containing Gothic lines. The name of Ahmet Gazi is inscribed on the flag in the right hand of the two lions embossed on the outer corners of this arch. The small arched door in the north gives a passage from the tomb outside the madrasa. It cannot be determined exactly who belonged to the second grave imitating Ahmet Gazi's grave inside the tomb. The madrasah rooms covered with barrel vaults are dim and small. Each room has a stove, two or three cabinets. The roof of the rooms were covered with soil and made into a priest. There are corridors and stairs on both sides.

    There is now a dilapidated room on the second floor above the large rooms to the left and right of the tomb. The dome of the tomb is covered with tiles. The facade of the madrasah, the eastern wall, 6 meters from the western wall, the inner walls facing the courtyard, the corridors and the inside of the doors are covered with shear stone. In the madrasah rooms with half of the western wall on the north side, there is no plaster or plaster. At a date after the construction of the madrasah, adjacent to the outer wall of the room in the east of the tomb, an arched small fountain with two opposite lion reliefs was added. The four corners in the middle of the courtyard show that there is a fountain here with marble floo time.
