In addition to the great mosque, the great artist Gazi Husrev Bey also built the Islamic School (Kurumlija Medresa), which can be freely accessed through the main gate in the courtyard of the sacred building. It was built around the year 1538, and is very unique. It has more than 24 domes and 12 chimneys.
