Avgunlu Madrasa
The exact construction date of the Avgunlu Madrasah, which is located in Mimar Sinan Park together with the Gevher Nesibe Madrasah and Shifa, is not known since there is no inscription and there are no written sources about it. However, it is estimated to have been built in the 13th century due to the similarities between Gevher Nesibe Madrasa and Avgunlu Madrasa and Tomb 02. The words “avgun” or “abgın” mean water source in Kayseri. The madrasah was named after the high level of groundwater in Kayseri in the past, which formed a spring on the lower floor of the tomb of the building.
The building, which has a single-storey, two iwan, porticoed courtyard and an asymmetrical plan, has been below the elevation level over time, so the madrasah courtyard is entered by descending the stairs.
