The province of Karaman (246,672 inhabitants in 2017; 881,600 ha) is located
in southern central Anatolia, bordered north by the province of Konya and south
by the province of Mersin.
The new logo was adopted in 21 June 2021, the
32nd anniversary of the establishment of the province of Karaman.
The
12-pointed star motif in the minbar (pulpit) of the İbrahim Bey Imareti Mosque,
which was built in 1432 by İbrahim Bey of the Karaman Principality, who ruled
the town and region for many years [1424-1464], is displayed in the Istanbul
Turkish-Islamic Arts Museum.

The Ibrahim Bey Imareti (soup kitchen) is part of a complex
which also includes a masjid, madrasa, and the mausoleum of Ibrahim Bek, built
by Ibrahim Bek II in 1433. Plainer in style than Seljuk architecture, the imaret
is one of the best examples of Karamanid building. It was developed directly
from the mid-fourteenth century Musa Pasha Madrasa (demolished 1927), retaining
the symmetrical plan and the central dome, but forgoing the arcades on either
side of the dome. The two buildings had identical minarets.
One enters the
imaret from the north through a porch with a pointed arch, directly into a large
central area covered by a simple dome supported by fan pendentives. There are
three small chambers either side of the dome. The otherwise symmetrical plan is
broken by the mausoleum in the southwest corner which is in an adjacent square
building. The masjid at one time had a fine ceramic mihrab, which can now be
seen in the Çinili Kösk in Istanbul. It is particularly notable for its red
lines which separate the other colors of glaze.
