Museum of Wooden and Stone Carving

The minaret Ince Minareli Medrese (School of the Slender Minaret) lost its name when it was struck by lightning in 1905. The madrasa was built in 1260 for the Seljuk vizier Sahip Ata, and the design features richly carved decoration on the portal. The building is now a museum with a large collection of wooden and stone sculptures dating back to the Seljuk era that include animal reliefs (although depictions of animals and humans are prohibited by Islamic law) from the old city walls.
