The tomb is reached by a four-step staircase. In the entrance section of the structure, there is a two-column porch projection covered with lead. The interior of the tomb, which contains no decorative elements, is plain and consists of a flat covering with an octagonal plan. There are cross iron grilles on the door and windows of the tomb. Of the two sarcophagi inside the tomb, the larger one belongs to Terzibaba and the other belongs to one of Terzibaba’s closest disciples. The tomb, which was ruined as a result of a fire, was rebuilt in reinforced concrete in the 1980s. The cemetery was built of cut stone, a feature of Ottoman architecture.
