Destination
Üç Kümbetler
These magnificent tombs, remaining from the Saltukoğulları period, have two major characteristics. The first is that they are among the first works built in Anatolia, and the second is that all three were built in completely different architectural styles from one another. Of the three tombs, the one set on an octagonal plan is thought to belong to Emir Saltuk, the founder of the Saltuklu State.
