Caferağa Madrasa was built by Mimar Sinan (Koca Sinan) in 1520 by Cafer Ağa, one of the Babüssaade lords of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman (1566-1559).
Our madrasah, which was included in the group of independent madrasas and reached today with the repairs it has undergone, was restored by the Turkish Culture Service Foundation in 1989.
Today; With 15 different art workshops, large hall and peaceful courtyard, it serves as an art center where Traditional Turkish Arts are taught, produced and exhibited, and welcomes local and foreign guests.
Workshops
Workshops are organized in Caferağa Madrasah in order to introduce, teach, disseminate Traditional Turkish Arts to new generations, make the right productions and train new artists.
Our madrasa is the point where art comes to life in the historical place with its works of Traditional Turkish Arts and Music.
Daily Art Events
