Çifte Minaret Madrasa, Sivas, Turkey

The Çifte (double) Minaret Madrasa in Sivas was built in CE 1271 by the Ilkhanid Vizier Semseddin Cuveyni (Shams al-din Juwayni). Originally the madrasa would have had four iwans around a courtyard surrounded by a two-story building. All that remains today is the façade with the two minarets.
