Tomb of Abdal Mehmed
Tomb of Abdal Mehmed
This tomb was built by Sultan Murad II for Abdal Mehmed, one of the mystics of that period. According to the marble epitaph board placed over its entrance door, Murad II ordered this structure to be built one year prior to his death in 1450.
Evliya Çelebi describes the “Abdal” tomb as a beautiful building where the passerbys took a rest and prayed. He furthermore indicates that this tomb was used as a masjid and a dervish lodge at his times, or that there was a structure used for this purpose at this place instead of it.
This structure was renovated in 1953.
