Tarsus Müzesi

Kubat Paşa Medresesi, built in 1557 by Kubat Paşa of the Ramazanoğulları as an open-courtyard madrasa, was converted into a museum in 1971 and opened to service in order to present our historical and cultural values to local and foreign visitors. However, Kubat Paşa Medresesi was unable to meet the requirements of modern museology in the exhibition and storage of artifacts. For this reason, the artifacts were moved in 1998 to the 75, built by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
