II Mehmed Geray dürbesi, Royal mausoleum in Bakhchysarai, Crimea.

The Mehmed Geray mausoleum is an octagonal burial structure with stone walls and traditional Islamic architectural features decorated with geometric patterns. The surfaces display carefully crafted ornaments in a style typical of the region.

Mehmed II Geray ruled the Crimean Khanate from 1577 until 1584, when the Ottoman sultan Murad III deposed him for refusing to aid the Turkish-Persian war. He was killed near Perekop by his brother Alp Geray, and his body was brought to Bakhchysarai and buried in this türbe in Eski-Yurt. His son Saadet II Geray, who died in Astrakhan in 1587, and his grandson Mehmed III Geray, killed by Ukrainian Cossacks in 1629, were later interred here as well.

The mausoleum shows how Crimean Tatar traditions and Islamic burial practices came together in regional building styles of that period. Local craftsmen used construction techniques that were characteristic of the khanate's architecture.

The burial site sits in the historic old town of Bakhchysarai and is easily reached through the main pathways of the area. Visitors should know the neighborhood is walkable and access is generally unrestricted.

The structure appears in both international heritage registers and is recognized as a cultural monument by both Ukraine and Russia. This dual status reflects the complex history and shared responsibility for preservation.
