Diyarbakir - Masudiye Medresesi

On the east side of the courtyard of the Ulu Cami in Diyarbakir an arcade of ancient columns leads via a gate to the Masudiye Medresesi (1198-1223), designed by a Syrian architect for the Ortokid Sultan Sökmen II. The former Koranic and medical school now houses the offices of various religious bodies.
