The construction of the madrasah, which has survived to the present day with its perfect structure, started during the Artuqid Period and was completed in 1457-1502 during the reign of the Akkoyunlu ruler Cihangiroğlu Kasım Padişah. Smooth cut stone was used in the construction of the two-storey, domed, single and open courtyard madrasah. The building, which attracts attention in terms of its plan features, stonework and ornamental motifs, is located within the complex together with the mosque and tomb. There is a fountain and a large pool in the courtyard of the madrasah. The madrasa, which has an open façade to the plain in the south, is one of the largest Mardin buildings. In the open madrasa type, it is organized around a single courtyard, has two floors and a single iwan. It was built of cut stone and bricks.
It is entered from the south facade through a barrel vaulted corridor connected by a crown door. To the west is an independent masjid with the same entrance as the other parts. To the east is the mosque rising along two floors. It consists of cells arranged between the porticoes on two floors around a large courtyard with a portico entered from the portal. To the north of the courtyard, there is a large iwan cutting through the second floor and a pool in front of it. This place must have been conceived not as a madrasah on its own but as a complex. The zaviye-tomb next to it is proof of this.
