Musa Baba türbe, Ottoman mausoleum in Upper Town, Thessaloniki, Greece.

The octagonal structure stands in Terpsitheas Square, featuring traditional Ottoman architectural elements with a domed roof and geometric patterns.

Built in the sixteenth century, this türbe serves as the final resting place of Musa Baba, a revered figure of the Bektashi Order.

The mausoleum transformed from an Islamic spiritual site to a refuge for Christian settlers following the 1923 Greece-Turkey population exchange.

The building underwent substantial restoration work in 2011 to maintain its structural integrity and preserve its architectural features.

The site contains both the türbe and a shrine to Saint Charalampus, representing the religious diversity of Thessaloniki through centuries.
