Lonely Planet review for Büyük Ağa Medresesi

The impressive octagonal Büyük Ağa Medresesi was built in 1488 by Sultan Beyazıt II's chief white eunuch Hüseyin Ağa. It still serves as a seminary for boys who are training to be hafız (theologians who have memorised the entire Koran) and is not open to the public.
