Mausoleum of Adnan Menderes, Political mausoleum in Zeytinburnu, Turkey.
The octagonal mausoleum contains the remains of Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, Foreign Secretary Fatin Rüştü Zorlu, and Secretary of Treasury Hasan Polatkan.
Constructed in 1990, this memorial holds the transferred remains of Turkish political figures who were executed during the 1960 military coup.
The architectural design incorporates Ottoman and Seljuk elements, reflecting traditional Turkish building principles through its geometric patterns and structural composition.
Located within Topkapı Cemetery, the mausoleum stands near the Panorama 1453 History Museum and the Terrestrial City Walls of Istanbul.
The structure represents the first memorial built to honor Turkish political leaders who were rehabilitated after their execution through a formal restoration act.
