Şifaiye madrasah
The Şifaiye Medrese ("Healing Medrese") is a madrasa built in 1217 in Sivas , Turkey .
It is located in Selçuklu Park in the city center of Sivas opposite the Çifte-Minare-Medrese , the "Medrese with double minaret" and is considered a typical example of Seljuk and important monument of Islamic architecture . At this school, in addition to the Islamic sciences such as Fiqh , Usūl al-fiqh , Hadith , Arabic language teaching and Koranic studies, especially medicine was taught.
The college, which soon developed into one of the most important centers for medicine in the medieval Islamic world , was founded by Sultan Kai Kaus I of the Sultanate of the Rum Seljuks . He was particularly interested in the city of Sivas, where he spent much of his reign and where he was buried on the college grounds. Because the university also served medical classes, a Darüşşifa was attached to it, literally a “house of healing”.
