Güdük Minare (Şeyh Hasan Bey Türbesi)

The structure, also known as the Sheikh Hasan Cupola, is different and beautiful from many of the vaults I have seen in Anatolia.

It is a cute building, slightly different from the cupolas in Anatolia. Due to its architectural feature, it was named as Güdük Minaret among the people. Cut stones and small red bricks were used in the building.

Because it resembles a flat minaret, its name is Güdük Minaret among the people. The tomb has a square shape and is built on an area of ​​100 m². Cut stone and bricks were used in the construction. The body is round. The gate to the north of the visit cell has a window in other directions. The roof of the building, which is one of the important examples of the Beyliks Period architecture, is covered with bricks. Eratna Principality was established as the center of Sivas within the principalities established after the disintegration of the Seljuk State. This work belongs to this circuit. The tomb is divided into three parts: I. Kriptah. 2. Place of visit. 3. Cover system. The crypt of the tomb is a cross-planned cell covered by a pointed vault. There are narrow windows on three sides. Inside the tomb are large and high relief rosettes. They are decorated with geometric and vegetable motifs. The pendants pass through a three-layer pulley and then the cylindrical high-drum. Black marble grave chests are found here. Roof cover is brick. The lower part of the tomb, which is made of square shaped cut stone, has a cylindrical body with cylindrical bricks and tile embroidery. It is already well maintained and robust.

Stubuk Minaret - Sivas Güdük Minaret, which is the tomb of Sheikh Hasan Bey from Eratnaoğulları, was built in 1347. An interesting architectural work was created with the cylindrical body placed on the cut stone square substructure with large triangles made of brick. The cylindrical brick body is decorated with turquoise tiles to achieve a colorful appearance. The entrance door of the building, which has windows in almost every direction, is in the north.

The masterpiece, which was last restored in 2006, the cylinder body began to fall out of bricks consisting of triangles and one-sided triangles in the middle, abandoned to its fate.

The stubby minaret started with brick muqarnas on hewn stone and continued upwards when it comes to the cone, the pillar is made of wood and lead coated on it.

The Güdük Minaret, the tomb of Sheikh Hasan Bey from Eratnaoğulları, was built in 1347. An interesting architectural work was created with the cylindrical body placed with large triangles made of brick on the square substructure made of cut stone. The grave was part of our city tour, which we described in detail with photos in the "Travel Report Sivas".

Stump Minaret was built by Alaeddin Eretna, the founder of Eretnaoğulları, for his eldest son Sheikh Hasanbeg, who died in 1347. It is located almost in the middle of the city and is in good condition today. The mausoleum, which is located on Atatürk Street in the Dikilitaş neighborhood and is likened to a collapsed minaret, is also known as the Dabas Lodge. The building consists of a cubic lower part made of cut stone and a cylindrical brick second part resting on it and is covered with a conical cone. The transition to the cylindrical part is provided by large Turkish triangles made of bricks. It is accepted by some scholars that there is a colonnade in each of the spaces at the two corners of the south façade. There is no construction inscription other than the inscription written in six pieces on the rectangular sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb. The mausoleum, which has a special place in Anatolian architecture with its large Turkish triangle transitions, shows various differences from its counterparts. It is noteworthy that the dimensions of the door and window are equal to each other. Between the lower dead cellar and the upper cubic section, there is a row of moldings that surrounds the building. The cellar is not dark, but is illuminated by a small culvert.
