Its story
The kümbet was commissioned by İbrahim Paşa in 1802, in the Ottoman period, and rises in the Hamur district cemetery. The structure consists of two parts: the main tomb and a second tomb in the entrance courtyard belonging to Yusuf Bey, İbrahim Paşa's brother. Its rectangular body and wooden doors set it apart from classic Seljuk kümbets; nevertheless, it is an important example showing that the old Turkish and Iranian funerary architecture tradition continued until the early 19th century. Being about 12 km from the Ağrı provincial center, it can be visited as a short trip from the city.
