[1] According to the two-line inscription made of white marble on the siege arch surrounding the muqarnas covered arch of the portal, it was built during the reign of Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Ghiyāth ad-Dīn Kaykhusraw bin Qilij Arslān by order of Visier Sahib Ata Fahreddin Ali bin Hüseyin in 1267–1268.

[3] The vaulted high portal is situated in the center of the southern building side,[3] and is decorated with geometric and floral ornaments, example of late Anatolian Seljuk architecture.

[3] The rectangular planned courtyard, which is reached through the entrance iwan, is a large area surrounded by porticoes opening as pointed arches resting on square-planned legs along the east, west and south wings.

The borders, which form gradual surfaces from outside to inside, feature intricate decorations consisting mainly of geometric interlockings.

In addition, the figurative depictions sandwiched between dense stylized floral decorations with palmette and rumi motifs connected to each other by curved branches are remarkable.

It is possible that the lion heads carved on the façades on the capitals of the columns, on which the siege arch sits, are talismanic depictions that are thought to protect the building against evil, as extensions of an old tradition.

[3] In the madrasa, which underwent a major renovation in the 1960s, the largely collapsed main walls, portico arches and portal were repaired and completed.
