It is located by the side of the Ürgüp-Soganli road in the village of Damsa (Taskinpasa), 20km south of Ürgüp. The Medrese, built by the Karamanids (the Karamanids: a fourteenth-century dynasty in Konya, that dominated this part of Anatolia for almost 250 years.) is 22.60 m by 23.85 m. Its portal, the mihrab in its mescid, its door and windows were laid using stone cut into blocks whereas rough stones were used in building the walls. Although its upper storey has completely collapsed, it is understood from the flight of stairs to the left of the entrance that it had at least two storeys. 

The impressive stonemasonry seen on the portal on the western side is in classical Seljuk style. The portal is decorated entirely with geometrical and floral designs. The inscription, that should be found above the entrance, has been lost. To the right of the entrance with a basket-handled arch is the mescid of the medresse. Its mihrab, like the portal, is decorated with rich floral motifs. The upper part of it is embellished with lines of palm leaves whereas floral designs are used with the double lined border. 

Surrounding the rectangular planned open courtyard are a number of unconnected rooms.
