Hello, this is Turkey at it's best, very beautiful art!
Is there a movement/school for preserving the art of mosaic, tilings, azulejos in Turkish style, for restauration and/or building of new mosques and the like?
What is a medrese for? Once I met an African student who studied in Morocco and he told me that he went to a medersah to learn Arabic while the studies in the regular university were in French. Apparently a medersah was a language school. Is there any link between medrese in Turkey and medersah in Morocco?
