Kirmizi (Red) Madrasa Kirmizi Madrasa, which dates back to the 14th century, was built during the reign of the Cizre Principality by Han Şeref Bey. Historical records show that when Akkoyunlu seized Cizre in 1475, the Emirs of Cizre were forced to leave the city. Emir Bedrettin's son II. Şeref (Hanşeref) prayed for the conquest of the city and with the help of the Boti tribe and surrounding people, he managed to reclaim Cizre. As a promise, he built the Red Madrasa, as he had vowed to construct a mosque if he regained control of the city. The Red Madrasa houses the tomb of Sheikh Ahmed El-Cezeri, a renowned writer and commentator, along with an Emir's graveyard section. The building has classrooms, a dining area, and teacher lodgings located on the east, west, and north sides that require restoration. The altar of the mosque, which is entirely made of white stone and measures 2.82x3 meters, features a semicircular mihrab space with a brick dome resting above it but not touching it. The mihrab space is surrounded by concave triangles that form an inverted U-shape. The southwest room of the madrasa has a square plan and is adorned with beautiful motifs. This room was used as a meeting place for professors and the chief prayer leader, or muderris. The Red Madrasa is so named because it is built of red bricks that are characteristic of Cizre.
