Şifaiye Medrese, 13th-century Islamic educational complex in Sivas, Turkey.
The Şifaiye Medrese contains both a hospital wing and educational facilities, featuring geometric patterns and stone carvings on its walls and portals.
Sultan Kaykaus I commissioned this medical school and hospital in 1217, establishing it as a center for medical education in medieval Anatolia.
Students at the medrese studied medicine, astronomy, and Islamic sciences, following the curriculum standards of Seljuk educational institutions.
The building maintains regular visiting hours from 9 AM to 5 PM, with entry through the main portal on the eastern side.
