Description
Abdullatif Kutsi Tomb
Tomb, Sultan II. It was built by Murad II on behalf of the cleric and Sufi Abdüllatif Kudsi (1385-1452) in the mid-15th century. Abdüllatif Efendi was a person from Bukhara and came to Bursa via Jerusalem, so he was given the nickname "Kudsi", meaning Jerusalemite. He came to Bursa in 1448 and took part in very important activities in the spread and recognition of the Zeyniyye sect in Bursa, and founded the Zeyniler Dervish Lodge. When he died in 1452, he was buried in his tomb in the southwest of the Zeyniler Mosque. The district where Kudsi settled was later named "Zeyniler" because of the sect he belonged to.
The tomb has a square plan and a single dome. There are six sarcophagi in the tomb. It is known that in addition to Abdüllatif Kudsi, the caliphs of Abdüllatif Kudsi are also buried in the tomb. There is a crypt section (grave room) under the tomb, and it is estimated that there used to be a sofa in front of this section and that this place was a suffering center.
The tomb, which was completely destroyed and devastated in the 1855 earthquake, was later rebuilt according to today's plan scheme. It was repaired in 1958 and 1965.
