Information About Gök Madrasah
His real name is Sahibiye Madrasah. The name can sometimes be written adjacent to "Gökmedrese". Gökmedrese, which is one of the most important works of Anatolian Seljuk State, is in Sivas province.
According to the inscription on the main gate where the entrance gate to the west is located, it was built in 1271 by the Architect Kaluytan (Kaluyan al-Konevi) by Sahip Ata Fahrettin Ali (Arabic: صَهِپ اتَ فَكهر ال ضِن الِ Sâhip Ata Fakhr al-Din Ali). According to the signature written on the side column headings of the crown gate, the architect of the Gök Madrasa is Kaluyan.
The crown is inscribed on the door:
عمر في ايام دولة السلطان الاعظم شاهنشاه المعظم غياث الدنيا و الدين كيخسرو بن قليج آرسلان خلد الله دولته
"The great sultan, the king of the great shah, the assistant of the world and religion was made in the time of the state of Keyhüsrev's son Kılıç Arslan. May Allah perpetuate the state."
The crown door with double minarets and the decorations on the door are the most magnificent part of the building. 12 kinds of animal head, star, and tree of life motifs are used in the decorations. The minaret of the madrasah whose walls are made of chipped limestone is 25 meters long.
Gök Madrasah is a two-storey madrasah where four iwans scheme with open courtyard are applied. One of the masterpieces of plastic art, the crown shade system affects the overall appearance of the light shade system due to the marble material. In addition, glazed bricks and brickwork minarets with blue tile work adds more importance to the crown door. To the left of the façade is the fountain with its three-slice arch, its two-line inscription and its geometric border that circulates in three directions. This activity is complemented by similar windows and back-towers on the left and right sides. The madrasah crown fills the animal heads intertwined in the upper two corners of the gate.
On the marble surface descending down from the minaret bases, large geometrical, inscription and floral motifs are made of symmetrical and plastic appearance. There is a masjid on the right at the entrance to the madrasah. The wooden pulpit was built later. Most of the mihrab has survived until today. It is covered with tiles and it is written with Ayet-el Kürsi. The dome and skirts of the masjid where the transition to the dome are provided with triangles are decorated with tiles.
The square-domed room to the left of the entrance is the Dar-ül Hadith section. The inner walls are plastered. There must be a pool in the middle of the inner courtyard with an open rectangular plan. Today the marble stones of this pool are still in the structure. It is the largest known Seljuk pool in Anatolia. It has a polygonal plan with 22 corners. There is a portico section built on six columns in the north and south of the courtyard. Behind these porticoes enter the cells through small gates. The main iwan in the east direction was destroyed and a wall was built with the existing stone and inscriptions. The inner iwans in the north and south are decorated with tile ornaments.
It was used as a museum between 1934-1967.
