Tomb of Mehmed V, Ottoman imperial mausoleum in Eyüpsultan, Turkey.
The octagonal structure features cut stone and marble construction, with a lead-covered dome and three levels of windows on each of its eight faces.
Built between 1911 and 1912 by architect Kemaleddin Bey, this mausoleum houses Sultan Mehmed V, who ruled the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
The interior walls display Kütahya tiles and calligraphic inscriptions, while stained glass windows filter light onto three wooden sarcophagi within the chamber.
Visitors climb ten marble steps to enter the mausoleum, which sits in a garden with iron railings and two decorative ponds near the Golden Horn.
The central sarcophagus of Sultan Mehmed V is enclosed by a brass screen featuring religious inscriptions and detailed architectural ornamentation.
