Sen Timur Tomb, 14th-century Muslim tomb in Tokat, Turkey.
The tomb features a cube-shaped stone structure with an octagonal drum base and a star-shaped brick dome reaching substantial heights.
Built in 1313, this mausoleum houses the remains of Nûreddin bin Sentimur, a Mongol commander who converted to Islam under Gazan Khan's influence.
The building incorporates a marble inscription above the prayer window, featuring text from Surah Al-Imran of the Quran about mortality.
The entrance through the south doorway leads to an interior space containing a Seljuk-style sarcophagus oriented in an east-west direction.
Local residents visit the tomb on Thursdays due to a linguistic confusion between 'Esentimur' and 'Sen Timur,' believing it belongs to a Christian saint.
