Its story
The complex is built on the east-facing slope of Üçler Tepesi in Seyitgazi. Ümmühan Hatun, mother of Alâeddin Keykubad I, had a tomb and mosque built in 1207–1208 in the name of Seyyid Battal Gazi, who is said to have fallen as a martyr in the 8th century during the Umayyad raids in Anatolia and who became legendary in folk narratives. In the Ottoman period the group of buildings expanded with madrasa, kitchen and tekke units to become a complex. Ruined until a comprehensive restoration in 1954, the complex today belongs to the General Directorate of Foundations. It is also an important place of pilgrimage for the Alevi-Bektashi tradition.
