Elti Hatun Türbesi
It is thought that the octagonal tomb located in the district center was commissioned by the Akkoyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan in the name of his sister Elti Hatun. There is no inscription on the tomb; however, the stone material used in its construction is the same as the material used in the construction of the nearby Elti Hatun Mosque dated 1252. For this reason, it would be correct to say that it is a 13th-century work, a kümbet.
