Ottoman Works To Visit In Cappadocia<\/h1>\n
Before we talk about Ottoman Works To Visit In Cappadocia. The Persians called it Kappa Tuchia at the time, and over time it evolved into the word Cappadocia.\u00a0 It also means “Land of Beautiful Horses”.\u00a0 This region has an aura that fascinates people with its natural beauties, magnificent Fairy Chimneys and historical richness.\u00a0 It hosts millions of tourists a year.\u00a0 In addition to its natural beauties, it also houses many museums, churches, chapels, monasteries, mosques, social complexes and tombs.\u00a0 When you make a balloon tour and reach the sky, watching all the beauties from the top will give you a different pleasure.\u00a0 Among the beauties in question are Ottoman works.\u00a0 Let’s take a look at another beauties with the title of Ottoman artefacts to visit in Cappadocia.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1607841018438-fcff91f709b6?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=774&q=80<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Damat Ibrahim Pasha Complex<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Among the Ottoman works to visit in Cappadocia, Damat Ibrahim Pasha Complex is located.\u00a0 It was built by Damat Ibrahim Pasha from Nevsehir during the period we call the Tulip Era today.<\/p>\n
It changed its name to Nevsehir after expanding the village of Muskara, which we knew to be connected by walls to Nigde until that time<\/p>\n
During the reign of Sultan Ahmet III, Damat Ibrahim Pasha had this complex bearing his name built.\u00a0 There are caravanserai, bath, primary school, fountains, mosque, madrasah and soup kitchen in the complex.\u00a0 It is decorated with Tulip Era motifs and architecture, built with materials brought from Istanbul.\u00a0 It has a large dome and is planned as a square.<\/p>\n
The reason why the mosque was given this name is because the dome in the main place is made of lead.\u00a0 The mosque, whose construction was completed in 1726, has architecture and motifs from the Tulip Era, and there is an inscription at the northern entrance of the mosque.\u00a0 In this inscription, there are verses of Nedim, the important divan poet of the Tulip Era.\u00a0 Nedim introduces Damat Ibrahim Pasha and the mosque in these lines.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/dosyalar.nevsehir.edu.tr\/ae69bf37262a2bdb33942acd70290b39_t\/4.jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Madrasa (Libary):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It contains approximately 9 thousand manuscripts.\u00a0 187 of these works were donated by Damat Ibrahim Pasha.\u00a0 The best professors gave lectures in the madrasah in question.\u00a0 Today, this madrasa serves as the library of Damat Ibrahim Pasha.<\/p>\n
It was built in a rectangular structure and has a courtyard and seventeen madrasa rooms and a head room in the courtyard.<\/p>\n
Caravanserai<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>It is located in the lower part of the courtyard in the mosque.\u00a0 The caravanserai consists of two parts.\u00a0 The biggest part of these two parts was carved into the rock where the mosque courtyard is located.\u00a0 The second part was built lower than the first part.\u00a0 It is also a municipal warehouse.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Invitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is located between the Sibyan School and the madrasa.\u00a0 Another name we know is the soup kitchen, it consists of two rooms carved into the rock and a kitchen.<\/p>\n
It is in a higher position than other structures.\u00a0 The S\u0131byan School has a classroom.\u00a0 It also has a small courtyard in the west, and at the same time, the stairs here provide access to the soup kitchen.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Bath<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is still in use today and was restored in 1943.\u00a0 There is a structure with a fountain in the middle of the building surrounded by the cedar in the bath.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Fountains<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
There are fountains built by Damat Ibrahim Pasha in many places in the city.\u00a0 There is also a fountain inside the complex.\u00a0 One fountain is in the courtyard of Kursunlu Mosque, and the other is in the courtyard of the Primary School.<\/p>\n
Karavezir Complex<\/strong><\/h2>\n
It is a complex built by Karavezir Seyit Mehmed Pasha in 1779.\u00a0 It includes a mosque, fountain and madrasah.\u00a0 After it was restored in 1960, it is used as a library today.\u00a0 It was built following an L-shaped plan.\u00a0 The madrasa has an open courtyard and was built with Ottoman architecture.\u00a0 The entrance door is quite spectacular, and the courtyard of the madrasa is made up of arches and cloisters formed by columns connected to each other.\u00a0 The cells inside are also covered with domes.<\/p>\n
Principal House<\/strong><\/h2>\n
It was built by Damat Ibrahim Pasha in 1726, but unfortunately, only one room with an arch, consisting of three sections, and the stables made of rocks have survived until today.<\/p>\n
Grand Mosque<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This 18th century Ottoman work is also known as an underground mosque.\u00a0 It is descended from the ground level by stairs and has a transverse rectangular structure.<\/p>\n
