Alaca Kümbeti

It is in an area close to the Republic Square in Kayseri. Just one of the numerous cupolas in Kayseri. Something to come and see from afar is already in the middle of the city. You can visit the Döner Cupola nearby. Likewise, the Alaca Cupola; It is close to Kayseri Castle, Clock Tower, Sahabiye Madrasa and many other historical sites.

It is a cupola on the main road to Şeyh Burhanettin Tomb.

Leave your car to the parking lot and drive around for hours! I couldn't finish it. I don't know why the vaults, but I loved it, I can sleep in it :) The hexagonal structure and the Seljuk Architecture are the first outstanding features ..

It is very nice and very valuable that Kayseri Municipality shares important information about each monument. Nowhere I go I just don't see stone. The background was briefly and very clearly transferred. Although it is a bit far from other works in Kumbet, it is very nice
