Husrev Pasa Social Complex, located in the Old City of Van, was built between the years 1567 and 1568 by Van Governor Kose Husrev Mehmed Pasha, one of the viziers of Suleiman the IInd. The Social Complex which is a work of Mimar Sinan had consisted of a mosque, madrassah, cupola, inn, double hammam, almshouse, primary school, fountain, guesthouse, bakery, and store sections. Renovation works on the mosque, madrassah, almshouse, cupola, water-tank with a fountain and yard structural sections of Husrev Pasa Social Complex’s center were conducted and completed by Foundations Regional Directory of Bitlis between the years 2007 and 2013. Excavation works for the inn and double hammam which were built as separate sections from the social complex had been completed between the years 2005 and 2007 by Van Governorate; however, application works have not been conducted yet. The study aims to observe the decorations only on the mosque and cupola and to determine engraving, tiling, and woodworks in their classifications. During determination, all phases’ data are recorded from beginning to end by certified experts for each decoration, according to their methods of renovation. Regional and periodical analyses are done in themselves for all visual and project data which were obtained as a result of decorations’ observation and renovation steps. Decorations are quite important for Arts and Architecture History. |
