Damat Ali-Paša's Turbeh, Ottoman mausoleum in Belgrade Fortress, Serbia.
Damat Ali-Pasha's Turbeh is a hexagonal stone mausoleum in the Upper Town of Belgrade Fortress with traditional Ottoman architectural features. The structure demonstrates typical burial architecture characteristics from that era and region.
The mausoleum was built during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III to honor Grand Vizier Damat Ali Pasha. This marks the period of Ottoman rule in Belgrade and shows the status of this prominent official in the region.
The building reflects Ottoman burial customs and is maintained by the Turkish embassy. It connects visitors with the shared history between Serbia and the Ottoman Empire through its continued presence.
The turbeh is located in the Upper Town of Belgrade Fortress and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes as the area features old paving stones and uneven ground.
Despite being dedicated to Damat Ali Pasha, historical records do not clearly confirm whether the Grand Vizier was actually buried in this mausoleum. This uncertainty makes the site a puzzling piece of history with unanswered questions.
