Istanbul june 2009 2442.jpg

All these pictures are from the monumental grave chamber of Eyüp, which is covered with Iznik tiles of the best quality. The grave proper is in a room that one can look into through elaborate grating. In the room where the believers gather there is a showcase with what must be a footprint of the prophet, I distinctly think it used to be in the Topkapı museum. Here it is much more in its proper place.All these pictures are from the monumental grave chamber of Eyüp, which is covered with Iznik tiles of the best quality.

For all I know the piece of stone in the centre is venerated as a footprint of the Prophet.
