Its story

The kümbet in the Karahan neighborhood of Battalgazi reflects the Anatolian Seljuk kümbet tradition with its octagonal body and pyramidal roof. Below is a barrel-vaulted burial crypt. As it has no inscription, its exact date is unknown; based on its architectural features it is dated to the 13th century, and it has been restored before. The small building near the Ulu Mosque can be seen on a short walking route together with the other kümbets and tombs in Old Malatya.
