Kapı Ağası (Büyük Ağa) Madrasa Sultan II. It was built by Hüseyin Ağa, the Kapı Ağa of Bayezid, in 1488. Its plan differs from the classical Ottoman madrasa form. The octagonal plan scheme, especially seen in the Seljuk tombs, was applied for the first time in this madrasa. The entrance to the madrasa is through the large arc-arched door on the north-west side. Just behind the entrance door is a small corridor with rectangular niches on both sides. The octagonal courtyard in the middle of the madrasa is surrounded by four columns on each side and pointed arched porches resting on these columns. This arch structure, made in the style called Bursa arch, made the interior architecture even more beautiful. Students' cells are accessed through these vaulted porticos. The cells opening to the outside with a rectangular marble-framed window are covered with domes with octagonal drums. On the south side of the madrasa, there is a classroom covered with a larger and higher dome than the student rooms and which is also used as a mosque. Rubble stone and brick were used together in the wall of the madrasa. In horizontal stripes, three rows of bricks are filled with rubble stone material. The madrasa has been the place where the highest level of education was made in Amasya.
