Pervane Medrese, 13th-century Islamic school in Sinop, Turkey.
The marble entrance portal of Pervane Medrese leads to a central courtyard with a fountain, surrounded by ten student cells along the sides.
Built in 1265 by vizier Mu'in al-Din Sulaiman Parwana after recapturing Sinop from the Trebizond Empire, the medrese served educational purposes until the early 20th century.
During its active period, the medrese functioned as a center for Islamic education, teaching subjects including theology, philosophy, and scientific disciplines.
The building now operates as a souvenir bazaar under the Sinop governorship, allowing visitors to explore its historical architecture while shopping.
Between 1932 and 1970, the medrese served as a repository for archaeological and ethnographical artifacts before the collection moved to a new museum facility.
