[edit] Beyazid II Külliye Health Museum

Beyazid II Külliye Health Museum in Edirne is founded by Dr Ratip Kazancigil, as a museum site of Trakya University. A külliye is an Ottoman architectural concept that designates a complex of buildings centered around a mosque. Bayezid II Külliye was built in 1488 by the Ottoman sultan Bayezid II. It gave medical education to students and health to patients using oriental medicine.

Ottoman Hospital (Darüşşifa)

The complex contains a darüşşifa (hospital, medical center) and it remained in operation for four hundred years as of 1488 until the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). The hospital was especially notable for its treatment methods for mental illnesses, which included the use of music, water sound and scents.

The historic Darüşşifa was incorporated into the structure of Trakya University, also based in Edirne, in 1993 and converted into a "Health Museum", a museum dedicated to the history of medicine and health matters in general, in 1997. It is Turkey's only museum in its field and provides information to visitors on the development of medical sciences and of medical services throughout history, especially Ottoman history. The museum is the second most visited historical site in Edirne after Selimiye Mosque. The museum was awarded the European Council's "Europe Museum Award" in 2004.
