Ahlat bayindir kumbet

Turkey, Ahlat view map

The Emir Bayındır mosque and tomb. It was built in 1481, founded by the governor of a Roha governor, Bayındır. The top floor looks like a round temple with a columnated corridor. The roof is supported by arches that rest on stalactite capitals. Only the back wall that sets it apart from the mosque is completely closed.

This is a detail of the türbe or tomb. Taken from a slide, older than the digital pictures.
