Al-Turantaiyah Madrasa is a madrasah complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was built between 1241 and 1251 by the Aleppine historian Ibn al-Udaym.
Located outside the city walls to the east of Bab al-Nairab gate, the madrasah was first known as al-Kamaliyah al-Udaymiyah . Later on, during the 14th century it was renamed after Afif ad-Din al-Turantay al-Mansuri the ruler of Damascus and the representative of the Mamluk sultan Al Mansur Qalawun.[1]
