Zinciriye Medrese
Zinciriye Medrese Review
Built in 1385 by Artukid Sultan Isa, this medrese sits up just above the rest of the city, and its crenullated dome forms a Mardin landmark. The compound includes a courtyard, now a tea garden; a mosque; and a tomb intended for the Sultan. Head up to the upper terrace for one of the best views of the city.
