Featured Highlights
The lodge was also known by the names Hariri Muhammed Efendi Lodge, Sheikh Salih Lodge, and Pazar Lodge Semahane.
The structure stands in the Topkapı quarter on Pazar Tekkesi Street, adjacent to the Kürkçübaşı Ahmed Şemsettin Mosque.
The complex consists of two adjoining buildings; one contains the tomb of Sheikh Hariri, while the other contains the lodge unit.
There are eight sarcophagi in the tomb; the sarcophagus belonging to Sheikh Hariri is distinguished from the others by a different arrangement.
Above the courtyard gate are a tughra and inscriptions; the gate composition, together with the line structure of the inscriptions, forms a readable architectural ensemble.
