Abdaliye Medresesi
The banner above is an illustration, not a photograph. It was drawn to suggest the place, and the details may differ from the real thing.
The medrese lies inside a cemetery in the Dağkapı quarter, at the southern edge of Cizre, and most of it is gone. Five pieces are still standing: a prayer house, a tomb, a single student's cell, an iwan, and the entrance unit that led into the courtyard.

Its founder is recorded by name — Emir Abdal, also given as Abdullah, ibn Abdillah Seyfettin Bohti — and the year of building as 1437. City transport reaches the quarter.
