Bus Hire in Sivas, Turkey

Sivas concentrates a cluster of Seljuk-era religious schools, or medreses, dense enough within the old city centre that a short walk covers most of them. The Gok Medrese, or Blue Medrese, completed in 1271, takes its name from the turquoise tilework covering its twin minarets, while the Cifte Minareli Medrese, built the same era, pairs its own set of minarets in a facade regarded as one of the finer examples of Seljuk stone carving anywhere in Anatolia.

In September 1919, Sivas hosted a congress that historians treat as a pivotal step in organising the Turkish War of Independence, delegates from across Anatolia meeting to coordinate resistance under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's leadership before the movement had a unified government behind it. The building where the congress met is now a museum, preserved much as it stood that September, and it draws a steady stream of visitors interested less in Seljuk architecture than in the country's founding history.
