Zinciriye Medresesi

The old Zengirli Madrasa (Theological College) was founded in 1385 AD, and as one of the best preserved buildings in Mardin, it should be on your list of attractions to visit in Mardin. The school is characterized by a special and different architectural design consisting of a domed mosque, a mausoleum, two inner courtyards and a portico. Perhaps the most characteristic of the building is the decorated and intricate entrance, which is a beautiful example of Islamic architecture. And for those not interested in stonework, don't miss the opportunity to climb the stairs to the rooftop, where you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the city.
