Its story
The Benli Sultan Complex is in the Benli Sultan neighborhood, popularly also called 'Tekke', attached to Ahlat Köyü north of Ilgaz Dağı. The complex, one of Kastamonu's spiritual centers, is considered to have been built with state support in the early 1500s. Sources contain different views about Benli Sultan's life and the order he belonged to; it is reported that documents were lost in a fire. The tomb contains ten sarcophagi, one of which is accepted as belonging to Benli Sultan. The complex, which also attracts visitors from outside the province, is a quiet stopping point on the Ilgaz road.
