Seyyid Battal Gazi Complex, Religious complex in Seyitgazi, Turkey.

The Seyyid Battal Gazi Complex contains multiple structures including a mosque, shrine, madrasa, almshouse, and dervish lodge in Eskişehir Province.

The initial construction began in 1207 under the patronage of Ümmühan Hatun, mother of Seljuq Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I, with additional buildings added throughout Ottoman rule.

The complex functioned as a center for Islamic studies, first hosting Kalenderi dervishes before becoming an important location for the Bektashi Order.

The site received restoration work in 1954 and 1957, with recent maintenance efforts starting in 2007 but stopping after two years of work.

Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent established a camp at this location before his Baghdad Campaign in 1534, while Murad IV added a caravanserai during his Yerevan Campaign.
