The Alemşah kümbeti: a grave monument to Alemşah from 1327, the time of the Ilhanlılar. It has two floors, the lower one contains the grave, the upper one is a mescit or prayer room. I have pictures from that upper room.

On the picture: The building inscription above the door, mentioning the date and the builder: Baltaoğlu Melih Şah Bey had the tomb erected for his brother Sultan Şah who had been the victim of a political murder.
