Gevher Nesibe Medicine Museum

 

After a recent renovation, Gevher Nesibe Madrasa was converted into the Seljuk Civilization Museum. The building was constructed by I Kaykhusraw, Gevher Nesibe Sultan's brother. She was the daughter of the former Seljuk Sultan Kilij Arslan II, and her death will be directed that a hospital be built. It's widely accepted that Gevher Nesibe fell in love with a Seljuk Cavalry commander. Giyaseddin Kaykhusraw, her brother, was hostile to the union and sent his able commander to a conflict from which he never returned. Due to her grief, Gevher Nesibe contracted tuberculosis and asked her brother to establish a hospital in her honour to treat individuals with terminal diseases. I Kaykhusraw founded the hospital in 1206, and her other brother I Kaykaus added the adjacent building, which the Turks used as a medical school until the end of the 19th century. One of the eleven hospitals ever constructed by Seljuk Turks is the Hospital and the Medical School. Five of Anatolia, which is now the Republic of Turkey, still exist. Gevher Nesibe is interred inside this lovely building, and his grave is visible in the northeastern corner of the hospital area, which now serves as the museum's main gate.

Where is Gevher Nesibe Medicine Museum?

 

The stunning Mimar Sinan Park, in the heart of Kayseri City, houses the Gevher Nesibe Medicine Museum or Seljuk Civilization Museum. Grand Sinan, an internationally renowned Ottoman architect, was born and raised in the village of Agirnas in Kayseri city. He was a Janissary in the Ottoman Army and shone during Soliman the Magnificent's Eastern Campaign. His rise in the Ottoman administration began when he built three ships in under two weeks to transport the Ottoman soldiers across Lake Van. Grand Sinan constructed a highly elaborate mosque in the heart of Kayseri, which now remains as the Gevher Nesibe Madrasa in the green park that bears his name. After a 5-minute drive from the Kayseri airport, it is relatively simple to visit the old city of Kayseri, thanks to the abundant parking spaces around the park. The Gevher Nesibe Madrasa, Mimar Sinan Mosque, Grand Mosque of Kayseri, Sahip Ata Madrasa, Kayseri Castle, Archaeology Museum in the Castle, and the Hunat Hatun Madrasa right across the street can all be reached on foot from the parking areas. All of these stunning mediaeval buildings are only a few feet apart from one another, and the city's traffic may be completely avoided thanks to the underground route of the Kayseri City Underground Shopping Mall. If you arrive in Kayseri City early enough, you can explore these landmarks independently and get a wonderful lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading to your hotel in Cappadocia.

 

What to see in Gevher Nesibe Medicine Museum?

 

You get to see a stunning illustration of mediaeval Turkish architecture first. The building was constructed in two stages, and a barrel vault links them together. The massive gate of the initial building constructed by I Kaykhusraw is still used as the entry to the museum, which Kayseri city residents refer to as the "Double Madrasa." The hospital's rooms and facilities were distributed over two open-plan buildings with sizable interior gardens. You may witness detailed antiques from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods of Kayseri city in addition to the tomb of Gevher Nesibe. There are areas for Turkish medicine, famous Madrasa alums, and the first physicians of the Republican Era because the building has served as both a hospital and a medical school. You may observe Turkish dentistry and medical equipment from mediaeval times. There is a page devoted to Avicenna, a renowned medieval physician and chemist. In the Seljuk and Ottoman eras, the Gevher Nesibe Hospital provided medical treatment for mental illnesses. Gevher Nesibe Madrasa tours are particularly educational because of the thoughtfully designed technological tools that provide in-depth information on Turkish history.
