English: This mausoleum was built in 1481 by Mehmet the Conqueror for his father, Murat II. According to the latter’s last will this structure was not covered to let the rain in, and with a surrounding gallery for disciples to memorize the Qur’an. Without using a sarcophagus the sultan’s body was buried directly in the soil, and he is the sole one buried here. The door wings are of exceptional craftsmanship. The columns’ pedestals and capitals are both of the Byzantine era.
In the left we see the entrance to the adjacent side room.
