Seydi Mahmut Türbesi

There are tombs in a historical place

We do not have any information about the life and personality of Seyyid Mahmut Suzani other than the inscription on his social complex and tomb. The fact that his name is Sayyid and Sheikh shows that he is one of the leading clergymen of his age. The fact that the area where the tomb is located in the foundation records is specified as the SEYYİD MAHMUT SÜZANİ COMPLEX also gives us a separate information. As it is known, there are many complexes in Sivrihisar in reference to the name of the builder and the creator. Within the structure of the complexes, there are sections such as Madrasa, Masjid, Imaret, Guest House and Library. The presence of these in the Mahmut Süzani Kulliye definitely reveals that the complex was built by this person. Located in Kurşunlu Mahallesi, Uçapark Street, the two-storey building has a rectangular plan, the lower floor is covered with pointed vaults, and the upper floor is an iwan. The builder of the building, dated to 1348, is Hodja Sadreddin Yakub bin Hodja Bahadır Ömer. It was repaired by the municipality in 1980 and a brick-built triangular pediment was built on the east and west facades and the building was covered with a hipped roof. The structure is solid. Both floors are entered from the west front. Downstairs is a rectangular door on the axis; The upper floor is entered through a low-arched door from the iwan with a pointed arch in front of it. The entrance with an iwan on the upper floor is covered with pointed vaults.
