Çini Museumvisitor guide.

Built in 1411 by Germiyanid ruler Yakup Çelebi II (1387–1429), the complex comprises an imaret (soup kitchen), madrasah, masjid, library, and bathhouse; its imaret and mausoleum sections were restored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as a tile museum and opened to visitation in 1999. Three domed iwans and two chambers open onto the central domed hall with a shadirvan fountain. The tomb section houses the tile-clad sarcophagus of Yakup Bey II. The foundation inscription of the demolished madrasah is situated to the left of the museum entrance. Vitrines chronologically display tile architectural elements, tile inscriptions, vases, plates, panels, and domestic utensils crafted in Kütahya and İznik from the 14th century to the present. At the museum entrance stands the world's second-largest stone inscription in Ottoman Turkish, belonging to the last Germiyan ruler Yakup Çelebi II.
