The sufi art work of ceiling rose of Karatay Medrese Museum
Karatay Medrese is a medrese (a school with a frequently but not absolutely religious focus) built in Konya, Turkey, in 1251 by the Emir of the city Celaleddin Karatay, serving the Seljuk sultan. Since 1955, it has served as a museum where Seljuk tiles are united, while artifacts in stone or in wood are on display in Ince Minaret Medrese, also in Konya. The collection of Karatay Museum was particularly enriched by the finds collected as of the 1970s in Kubadabad Palace royal summer residence on Lake Bey?ehir shore, at eighty miles from Konya to the west. A caravanserai, also built by Celaleddin Karatay in the outskirts of Konya, carries his name too. Date: 1251

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Enchanting Ceiling Rose of Karatay Medrese Museum: A Symphony of Blue and Rose in the Heart of Konya, Turkey" 2. Description: Step into the enchanting world of the Karatay Medrese Museum in Konya, Turkey, and feast your eyes on this breathtaking ceiling rose, a stunning example of Seljuk artistry from 1251. Commissioned by Celaleddin Karatay, the Emir of Konya, this medrese (a school with a frequently but not absolutely religious focus) is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Seljuk Empire. The museum, which has been serving as a repository for Seljuk tiles since 1955, is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The ceiling rose, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and calligraphy, is a masterpiece of Islamic art, showcasing the beauty and harmony of blue and rose motifs. The ceramic tiles, with their delicate designs and precise symmetry, are a feast for the eyes. The calligraphy, written in elegant script, adds a spiritual dimension to the artwork, reflecting the Sufi traditions that flourished in this region during the Seljuk period. The collection of the Karatay Museum was significantly enriched by the discoveries made at Kubadabad Palace, a royal summer residence on the shores of Lake Beysehir, about eighty miles from Konya to the west. The medrese, a caravanserai, and the palace all carry the name of Celaleddin Karatay, underscoring his patronage of the arts and architecture during his reign. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when art, culture, and spirituality were intertwined, creating a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day. 3.
