ZINCIRIYE MEDRESESI

The medersa dates from the time of the Karamanids (14th), a Seljuk branch. It was used until the beginning of the 20th century. Closed for a while, it became a prison in the 1940s and finally a museum in 1969. Stemming from different cultures, several settlements radiate at one time in the arid steppes of central Anatolia: Aşıklı Höyük (25 km to the southeast, near Kızılkaya), Musular (close to the first one), Güvercinkayası (1 km away near the villages Çatalsu and Apsarı Köyü), Acemhöyük (13 km to the northwest).
