  1. <—BACK GÖK MEDRESE (BLUE MADRASAH) • The GökMadrasa is one of three madrasas built in Sivas in 1271, the others being the BurujirdiMadrasa and the ÇifteMinareMadrasa. The construction was funded by Vizier Sahip Ata during the rule of GiyaseddinKeyhüsrev III, and built in stone by the mason and architect Kaluyan el-Konevi (of Konya). His name is inscribed on either side of the porch doorway. The GökMadrasa was originally part of a much larger building complex of which little remains. In plan, proportion, and decoration it is the most developed of all Seljuk madrasas. The plan follows a traditional four iwan courtyard madrasa, although the iwan opposite the entrance no longer exists. The arcades on the long (north and south) sides of the courtyard each had, in addition to an ornate iwan, two stories of six rooms, for a total of twenty-four.
