The complex, showing the classic and baroque building styles, was damaged in the 1765 earthquake and restored in 1782.
The complex contains a large courtyard surrounded by 18 dome, and has three entrances, and there is a beautiful Shadroun (fountain) in the middle.

The school was hit in 1894 by the earthquake and in 1911 the fire, which was damaged and prevented its arrival today. While the path and the cemetery are located on the outskirts of Bordeaux Street. The tombs of Sultan Mustafa III and Sultan Salim III are located in this cemetery. The path built on a circular base is composed of curved windows overlooking the street.
