Tomb of Gül Baba, Ottoman mausoleum in Rózsadomb, Hungary.

The octagonal structure features a shallow dome covered with lead plates and wooden tiles, standing prominently on a hillside near Margaret Bridge.

Constructed between 1543 and 1548 by Mehmed Pasha, the tomb houses the remains of Gül Baba, who died during the Ottoman conquest of Buda in 1541.

The tomb represents the northernmost Islamic pilgrimage site, containing inscriptions from the Quran woven on the pall of the central casket.

The monument remains open from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 18:00, with access through narrow streets leading up the hill.

The structure survived the Habsburg conquest in 1686 and transformed into a Roman Catholic chapel before returning to its original purpose.
