Gaziantep 8479

Throughout the country one can see the graves of more or less important religous people. Some of them have been there for ages, and are of almost archaeological interest. Some have been renovated, lost much of their old charm, but then again: they still function. People will visit them, praying for - I suppose - some intervention for their fate by the holy men who are lye here. The entrance it to the right.

A viewer wrote: This is the tomb of Prophet Joshua. And also Pursefa is a friend of Prophet Muhammed (s.a.v). It's believed that they were buried here.
