View of the Karatay Madrasa in Konya, Turkey. "Karatay Madrasa was built on a rectangular area measuring approximately 31.50 m x 26.50 m and oriented east to west. All the rooms are arranged around a dome-covered courtyard ... The east side of the madrasa where the entrance is located is made of cut stone, while the other walls are made of rubble stone. Bricks have been used in the upper sections of the walls, in the dome's zone of transition and in the vaults. In the madrasa, decoration can be seen to this day on the portal, the walls of the rooms facing the courtyard, the dome of the courtyard and the main iwan. The ornament on the portal consists of inscriptions and geometric and floral decoration executed in relief on marble,"--Discover Islamic Art website.
