Investigation of Tiles of Ince Minareli Madrasah Listed in the Inventory of Konya Karatay Museum

The İnce Minareli Madrasah was built by the Anatolian Seljuk state in the province of Konya and is one of the city’s most important works. It is an architectural masterpiece that includes the features of the Anatolian Seljuk period, adding to the cultural richness of Konya. The madrasah stands out with its tile decorations. It was constructed using stone, brick, and tile materials, and the tile decorations were applied to the architectural elements. Our research discusses and describes the remaining tiles in detail. During excavations in the area where the İnce Minareli Madrasah is located, some tile pieces were unearthed and stored in the museum’s warehouse. The research we conducted aimed to analyze the tiles preserved in the Konya Karatay Madrasah Museum warehouse. These tiles have not been studied in detail before, making our research rather noteworthy. Upon examining the tiles belonging to the İnce Minareli Madrasah, we discovered that they were applied to the architectural surface using two different techniques. To explore the tile pieces in detail, we analyzed them one by one, from work 1 to work 17, along with their visuals, techniques, and dimensions.
