Karaaslan Türbesi

Closed gate

Even if the landscaping is made, if the tomb is open to visitors ...

It is not the tomb of Ziyaeddin Necmeddin Karaaslan. Emir Seyfeddin Karasungur, brother of Emir Celaleddin Karatay, is buried here. The Karaaslan Tomb is in the same neighborhood, but in Yeşil Gözler Street.

It is the tomb of Seyfeddin Karasungur, the brother of Seljuk vizier Celaleddin Karatay. Only the tomb building has survived from the building group consisting of tombs, madrasas and lodges. The body rising on an eight-sided base and the pyramid of bricks are covered with cones. The main entrance is closed by a simple door opening on the western front. The corners were shaped with brick pilasters and the facades ended with high rectangular panels. The surfaces of these panels are decorated with geometric motifs in the scratching technique. There are loopholes on the panels. The floor is covered with cement and there is no cist.

This is a shrine from the Seljuk period. Seyfeddin Karasungur is the person who is lying inside. However, a society that is disrespectful to the tomb, intertwined with the parking lot. It makes no sound in anyone. This is not the Karaaslan tomb. Near the Karaaslan tomb.

The area is neglected, fire at the door burned. The identification plate may be attached. (Most of the tombs in Konya do not write names, they have written information about it only if it has been restored)

Although it is a historical monument, it is a mausoleum that was left alone, in a very neglected and bad condition. According to the sign on its door, it was last restored in 1998 by the General Directorate of Foundations. But unfortunately it has been left unattended in the meantime. There is a parking lot and piles of rubble around the tomb. I hope the necessary repairs will be made as soon as possible. The low score I gave is due to the indifference of the relevant organizations. Information: Emir Seyfettin Karasungur, Hz. A statesman known for his closeness with Mevlana and who served as the Commander-in-Chief during the Seljuk period. Hz. Seyfettin Karasungur, who is also mentioned in Mevlana's Letters, had the Seyfiye Madrasah, which he founded during his lifetime, and which does not exist now, built to the north of the tomb. The date of death of Emir Seyfettin Karasungur, whose tomb only exists today, is unknown. (Source: Konya New Day)
