Hunat Hatun Complex, Islamic religious complex in Melikgazi, Turkey.

The Hunat Hatun Complex contains a mosque, tomb, medrese for education, and hamam arranged around a central courtyard in Seljuk architectural style.

Built in 1238 by Mahperi Hunat Hatun, wife of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I, this complex represents the power of the Anatolian Seljuk Dynasty.

The mosque features geometric patterns and floral motifs on its portal gate, while the madrasah houses educational facilities following Islamic traditions.

The tomb chamber contains two levels: a burial section below and an decorated upper room featuring architectural elements from the Seljuk period.
