Kayseri - Museum in the Medrese

(Local Name: Honat Hatun Külliyesi) One of the most opulent complexes in Kayseri is the Hunat Hatun which lies to the northeast of the citadel. It consists of a mosque with a mausoleum of the founder, a medrese which now houses an ethnographical museum, a paupers' kitchen, a fountain and a bath, all decorated in grandest Seljuk style. Mahperi (Honat) Hatun built the complex in 1237 and was responsible for founding numerous caravanserais.
