Guide
The Çivitcioğlu Medrese stands on the east front of the Great Mosque in central Çankırı and has come down from the seventeenth century. It sits within a courtyard: two storeys of single-file cells ranged east to west, with a row of wooden arcades in front of the cells on both floors.
The building is in use today as a culture and art centre where traditional Turkish decorative arts are produced and displayed, so there is something to see inside as well as the architecture. It is on Çivitcioğlu Sokak in the Mimar Sinan quarter, beside the Great Mosque.
