Featured Highlights
A pioneering example of the semâhâne-altı türbe type, with a rectangular plan and windows on three sides for natural lighting.
The tomb is accessed through a stairway from the courtyard; the upper floor houses the mescid/semâhâne while the lower floor contains the tomb.
Alongside Numan Halil Dede’s cenotaph, there are numerous others belonging to the lodge’s early sheikhs.
A lengthy inscription written in the name of Sultan Mahmud II during the 1835 restoration was placed over the sheikh’s cenotaph.
During the 1975 restoration, the cenotaphs were reorganized and the structure was brought to its current form.
