Cacabey Madrasah Medieval Astronomical Observation Center
Built in 1272 in Kırşehir, Turkey, the Cacabey Madrasah is an architectural marvel that originally functioned as an astronomical observatory. It is instantly recognizable by its unique, rocket-like minaret featuring intricate geometric brickwork and blue tiles, as well as its dome with an observation oculus. Our highly detailed architectural miniature captures the unusual stonework and scientific legacy of this Seljuk monument. Produced by miniatureart.eu, this educational scale model is a durable and visually striking addition to any historical miniature theme park. Below you can view photos of the Cacabey Madrasah miniature model.
The Cacabey Madrasah miniature model was produced in MiniatureArt’s 4,500 m² workshop in Istanbul. Our model-making process starts with detailed documentation of the building’s architectural drawings, photographs and proportions; the model is then designed in one of the standard scales such as 1:10, 1:15 or 1:25, depending on the project.
The main form of the building is carved from solid polyurethane blocks using CNC machines and 7-axis robots. Fine details such as façades, windows, roofs and ornaments are finished and painted by hand by our team of architects, sculptors and painters. As a result, each model lets visitors experience the real building on a small scale, with faithful proportions and surface textures.
Our models displayed outdoors in miniature parks are designed to withstand harsh conditions such as sun, rain and frost. For a similar historical building model, museum model or miniature park project, contact us.
