Seyitgazi dec 2007 1941.jpg

On the lower courtyard, looking towards the west.
On the left: The gallery which leads to the entrance of the Türbe (mausoleum) of Seyit Battal Gazi.
On the right: some of the buildings of the Bektaşi ‘tekke’, more specifically the two rooms of the Semahane, with their large domes (Semahane = space used for the ritual gatherings of the Bektaşi Brotherhood).

Tekke or Dergah = the largest kind of building (often a complex) designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood. It was a place for spiritual retreat and character reformation, and often served as hospices for Sufi travelers and Islamic students.

Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.
