This complex of buildings we visited on June 24, 1996, centered around a mosque and is patterned after Byzantine institutions.  The Ottoman külliye was built in 1448 in Edirne and its donor was Bayezid II.  It includes a soup kitchen, madrasa, and a medical facility for the mentally ill (asklepion).

The madrasa has a courtyard with arches and colored stone.  The columns of the medical school have no base.  Natural Sciences, Literature, Poetry, and Religious Law were some of the subjects taught here.

The hospital is a treatment building which is comprised of rooms on the side that supported different activities such as: surgery and pharmacy.  The patients were treated on platforms which were heated.  Potent drugs such as hash were used.  The use of flute music, water sounds and scents were the other types of treatment methods used for the mentally ill.

The mosque is made of a single space.  It contained a minbar and a dikka – a tribune raised on columns from which the Koran is recited and prayers are uttered by the Imam.  The decoration is not original and is from the 19th century.
