Changes After Construction:
- The east wing of the madrasa structure has completely disappeared.
- Only the west and north walls have survived to the present day.
- At the end of the west wing, there is an entrance opening with an inscription dated Hijri 1197 (1783–1784).
- At the end of the reconstruction process carried out in the complex in the 1990s, the mosque was rebuilt between 1990 and 1994; the remains of the madrasa were preserved at wall level.
Prominent Features:
- It is also known as the Vefa Madrasa and the Sheikh Vefa Madrasa.
- It was designed so that the equal-sized rooms, aligned side by side in a “U” shape, would form a shared inner courtyard with the mosque.
- The wall masonry was built with alternating courses of one row of küfeki stone and two rows of brick, with timber tie beams.
- On the west wall, there are five windows with marble jambs; on the north wall, there is one doorway opening at the lower level and a total of six rectangular window openings at the upper level.
