The complex contains a Dar al-Shifa (Turkish darüşşifa, "hospital, medical center"), and it remained in operation for four centuries from 1488 until the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78).

The hospital was especially notable for its treatment methods for mental disorders, which included the use of music, water sound and scents.

The utilization of music and the sounds of water from the fountain were intended to serve as therapeutic aids for mentally ill patients.

The medical school consisted of 18 student rooms and a classroom surrounding three sides of a courtyard with a shadirvan (fountain) in the middle.

According to Evliya Çelebi, following daily wages were paid to the staff and students: Today, the structure has fallen into disrepair, with its original foundations obscured.

Architecturally, it exhibits characteristics of a double bath design where revenue generated from the hamam contributed to the complex's overall maintenance.
