In Kayseri, Turkey, recent developments have highlighted both modern religious infrastructure and the preservation of historical heritage. The Melikgazi Municipality officially opened the Hayrat Mosque in the Selçuklu neighborhood, a project funded by local philanthropists and characterized by its minimalist, traditional architecture. Simultaneously, archaeological excavations under the Suriçi Camikebir Urban Transformation Project have uncovered ruins believed to be a medrese from the Melik Mehmet Gazi era. Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Memduh Büyükkılıç recently inspected the site, noting that the 12th-century religious school was discovered during demolition and renovation work near the historic Cami Kebir mosque. These ~~efforts,~~ excavations, conducted ~~in cooperation with~~ under the supervision of the Kayseri Museum Directorate, aim to ~~restore~~ uncover the ~~area’s~~ historical ~~fabric~~ significance of the site while balancing modern urban development with heritage preservation by removing non-characteristic structures from the Republican era to protect Seljuk-era heritage.
