Tomb of Ahi Evren

The religious structure features a T-shaped design with an iwan and two chambers, containing multiple coffins within its stone walls.

The tomb was constructed in 1450 by craftsman Hasan Bey and later expanded in 1481 with the addition of an Islamic hermitage.

The complex serves as the final resting place of Ahi Evren, who established a guild system for Muslim craftsmen in 13th-century Anatolia.

The site maintains regular visiting hours and includes a free museum where visitors can learn about the historical guild brotherhood system.

Five unmarked coffins rest in the iwan section, while a symbolic coffin represents Ahi Evren in the northern chamber of the complex.
