Rüstem Pasha Medrese, Ottoman educational complex in Fatih, Turkey.
The Rüstem Pasha Medrese features an octagonal courtyard surrounded by 24 marble columns supporting individual domes in a harmonious arrangement.
Mimar Sinan constructed this medrese between 1550 and 1557 for Rüstem Pasha, the Grand Vizier during Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent's reign.
The medrese contained 22 student chambers and classrooms where scholars studied religious texts and Islamic sciences until 1869.
The building stands on Hoca Hani Street in Çagaloglu, accessible to visitors interested in Ottoman architectural heritage.
The structure incorporates an innovative design on a hillside, using different-sized chambers to transition from an octagonal interior to a square exterior form.
