Museum of Seljuk Civilization

Unearth the Echoes of Seljuk Splendour in Kayseri

Museum of Seljuk Civilization

It was built during the Anatolian Seljuk era in 1205. The structure consists of sections featuring a medical madrasa, a mausoleum, a hospital and a bimarhane (a form of hospital including a mental hospital). The hospital and madrasa are organized as two separate buildings. In the building, which was the first applied medicine madrasa (educational institution) of Anatolia, it is known that mental illnesses were treated with the sounds of water and music. Today, it is used as the Seljuk Civilization Museum, where the Seljuk Civilization is examined in every aspect and the treatments in the bimarhane section are presented with animations.
