The Sırçalı Madrasah, built in 1201, is a 13th-century Islamic school located in Konya, Turkey, during the city's tenure as capital of the Anatolian Seljuq state. Its name—literally "Glazed Medrese"—refers to characteristic decorative elements of its Islamic architectural style. Among approximately twenty-four madrasas constructed in Konya under Seljuq patronage, seven survive to the present day, of which the Sırçalı stands as one of the city's most significant architectural survivors, testament to the region's rich educational and cultural heritage.
