Cifte Minare - Sivas
Cifte Minare

Its at the center of Sivas.....

All that remains of the Çifte (double) Minaret Madrasa in Sivas is the front façade, with its monumental portal in limestone and marble topped by the twin polychrome brick minarets that give it its name. Built in 1271 -- the same year as Muzaffer Bürüciye Madrasa and Gök Madrasa -- by Ilkhanid Vizier Semseddin Cuveyni (Shams al-din Juwayni), it was once a madrasa with four iwans centered around a two-storey courtyard.

The monumental portal is centered on the façade, and distinguished by ornamental carvings in high relief. The brick minarets rise directly from the upper corners of the portal. The geometric decoration in black and blue glazed tile counteracts the monumental scale of the minarets. Excavations have revealed the foundations of a hospice to the left of the madrasa, mirrored on the right by another building, which may have been a bath.

If u come to Kangal u must...

If u come to Kangal u must visit Kangal Dogs' House. There are special places for these dogs that u may buy or take some pictures. Kangal Dogs are popular in all around the world especially in USA. These dogs are very strong that used for security . The most important part of their body is,their Chest. They like their freedom. They want to be free, they dont want to be chained. Kangal Dogs like wheat, so it is easy to feed them. They are best friends for shephards in whole Turkey.
