Complex of Sultan Bayezid II.
and Health Museum
Located 3 km from city center and only 1 km away
from Sarayici (Kirkpinar
oil wrestlig area ) and ruins
of the Ottoman palace.
It was built by the Sultan
Bayezid the second ( son
of Sultan mehmet the Conquerer ) in
order to make a health complex and hospital to Edirne
city. The construction started in 1484
and finished only in 4 years in 1488.
The other sections available in the complex are
directly or indirectly complementing each other socially , culturally and
religiously . The important thing all the structures with different features
and tasks are in cooperation only for one aim ; to help and heal the people.
It is believed that the
architecture of the structure is Hayrettin however it is not proofed by written
documents.
The most interesting section
of the Complex is the part where people were tried to healed with music and
natural sounds of life. The relaxing Turkish music made
by instruments and sounds of flowing water, birds, air were listened to the
patients. Acoustic of this part in the building even that hard to reach in
today’s conditions.

and restored to a health Museum with contributions of Thrace
university and awarded in 2004 as “ Europe’s best Health museum.
