Sultan Bayezid II Complex, Ottoman religious complex in Edirne Province, Turkey.

The complex includes a mosque with a 19-meter dome, medical center, Turkish bath, soup kitchen, and educational facilities spread across multiple courtyards.

Built in 1488 by architect Mimar Hayruddin during Sultan Bayezid II's reign, the medical center operated continuously for four centuries until 1877.

The medical school within the complex educated physicians who studied ancient Greek texts while developing Ottoman treatment methods through scholarly research.

The site now functions as the Sultan Bayezid II Health Museum, operated by Trakya University, showcasing the evolution of Ottoman medical practices.

The hospital section contains specialized rooms where patients received treatments incorporating music, water sounds, and aromatic substances for mental health care.
