Khan Theological School (aka Imam Gholi Khan Madrasa or Madrasa-i-Khan) was built in 1627. I am not sure if there are additional buildings (I assume there are). We only saw an impressively muqarna*-covered entrance gate, a beautifully domed vestibule, and a lovely courtyard. The courtyard is a classic four-iwan** plan, apparently square, with shallow iwans covered in gorgeous tilework (apparently the same on each side). and was graced with palms, pines, roses, and citrus trees, and a reflecting pool in the center.
I loved that the plantings gave attention to all the senses... the sound of a breeze in pines and palms is a delight, even as their shade refreshes the skin; the scent of roses fills the air and the citrus trees made my mouth water.
To see what the courtyard looked like in 1933, visit ArchNet's pages on the school. Be sure to view the large photos - it's quite fascinating!

*Muqarnas are used in many ways in Islamic architecutre... see this page on Archnet for a full description, history, and references.
**An iwan is a large arched opening in the wall of a courtyard. Usually there are four; sometimes one leads to an interior hall of a mosque. The architectural theme apparently dates from ancient Assyria but became common in Islaimc architecture. The four-iwan plan is commonly used in domestic, religious, and public architecture in Iran and the region.

Caltagirone liegt an der Strecke Catania - Gela im Gebiet der Monti Erei und die Stadt, die bekannt ist für ihre Keramikwerkstätten, zieht sich malerisch über drei Hügel. Die Herstellung bunter Majoliken geht in Caltagirone auf die arabische Zeit zurück und ist heute noch der wichtigste Wirtschaftszweig.
Die Hauptsehenswürdigkeit von Caltagirone ist die Scalinata, eine Treppe mit 142 Stufen, deren Schauseiten 1954 mit Keramikkacheln belegt wurden, wobei die Muster von Stufen zu Stufen variieren. Die typisch sizilianischen Muster der Kacheln stammen aus der Zeitspanne zwischen 1000 bis 2000. Seit 1860 findet jedes Jahr das traditionelle Fest der Luminaria statt. Dabei wird die Treppe an den Abenden des 24. und 25. Juli zu Ehren von San Giacomo, dem Schutzheiligen der Region, in einem farbigen Muster erleuchtet.

The 12 framed mosaic panels, by the children of Public School 41 in conjunction with artist Lee Brozgol (credited as Brozgold but the artist legally changed his name), depict the history of Greenwich Village. Plaques near the panels provide a "key" to who's-who in the 12 mosaic panels (a brochure was also available in a rack near the token booths when the art was first installed but it only had one printing). The names of the panels are: "Bohemians," "Rebels," "Founders" and "Providers."
This mural takes us into Mabel Dodge's salon, where intellectuals, poets, playwrights, and painters gathered together to discuss the burning issues of their time - establishing the Village as a center of social and artistic thought.
This plaque includes: Max Eastman, editor (figure on the left), Mabel Dodge, patron of the arts (central figure), and George "Jig" Cram Cook, producer (figure on the right)
East end: altar.
The reredos and east wall have tiles by William De Morgan: the central cross is made up of strips of tile glazed in red lustre, and around this are tiles painted in blue, white and yellow with leaves and flowers or the sacred monogram and, at the sides, unusual figurative panels of the Evangelists in mostly blue and white.
