Çifte Minareli Medrese, literally “Double Minaret Madrasah”, is a former medrese located in Sivas, Turkey. It was built in 1271/2. It was commissioned by Şemseddin Cüveynî an Ilkhanid vizier. Today all that remains of the madrasa is its front façade. Dominating the facade is a monumental portal in limestone and marble topped by the twin polychrome brick minarets that give the madrasa its name. The original plan consisted of a rectangular complex centered on a two story courtyard with four iwans. The monumental portal is one of the most elaborate and unique to survive from the Seljuk era. It is centered on a large portal that provides the base for its two brick minarets. The portal takes the form of a shallow iwan covered with a muqarnas hood. Framing the hood is a field in the shape of a pointed arch filled with vegetal ornament carved in stone. The pointed arch is surmounted by a sculptural design. This entire assemblage is framed in turn by a rectangular pishtaq decorated with a series of concentric bands of geometric ornament. The outer band is composed of muqarnas. The brick minarets rise directly from the upper corners of this rectangular pishtaq and are decorated with blue glazed tiles on the shafts. Muqarnas corbels form the base of balconies two thirds of the way up the minaret, from which turrets with conical roofs rise.
