"Zinciriye (Isa Bey) Madrasa - Mardin Sultan Isa Madrasa Malik Necmettin Isa bin Muzaffer Davud bin El Melik Salih, the last Artuqid Sultan who ruled in Mardin, was built in 1385. Melik Necmeddin Isa, who was seen for the first time in Mardin and fought with Timur and his army, was imprisoned in this madrasah for a while.

The Sultan Isa Madrasa, also known as Zinciriye Madrasa among the people, draws attention even from far away with its sliced ​​domes at its eastern and western ends and its high monumental portal that coincides with its eastern side. The building, which covers a rectangular and wide area, consists of a courtyard, mosque, tomb and various additional spaces on two floors. When you enter through the portal, a section covered with a star vault is reached. On the west, there is a corridor that opens to the courtyard with the mosque. In the middle of the mosque space in the south of the corridor, there is a dome with muqarnas and squinches. The surrounding of the mihrab is embroidered with inlaid motifs. The pulpit is made of cut stone. From the iwan in the west of the courtyard, one passes to the space covered with a dome, which is understood to be a tomb. The upper floor consists mostly of small room spaces. These are the chambers of the people who once studied in the madrasah."
