Ahlat 2006 09 0620.jpg

Turkey, Ahlat view map

This tomb, the Ulu Türbesi, is the largest of Ahlat, richly decorated and finely made. However, there is no indication for whom it was built. For architectural reasons its date is estimated at the end of the 12th century. You get there by crossing the road in front of the museum and then heading slightly to the right.

This is the ceiling of the lower part of the tomb.
