Person in the Tomb
Although his exact identity remains uncertain, Şeyh Seyyid is believed to have been the sheikh of a former Halveti-Sünbüli tekke once located at the site.
He is also known by the name “Örümceksiz Dede” (“Spiderless Dede”), based on a popular legend claiming that no spiderwebs ever formed in his tomb.
According to one tradition, the tomb lies across from the Mimar Acem Ali Mosque and has been venerated due to this mysterious characteristic.
