Its story
Hüseyin Gazi and his son Battal Gazi are heroes remembered for raids against Byzantium in the 8th–9th centuries, who became the subject of epics in later centuries. His tomb stands on the summit of Hüseyingazi Mountain east of Ankara, overlooking much of the city. Highly revered in the Alevi-Bektashi tradition, the tomb receives visitors year-round and hosts commemorative events in summer. Near the tomb is also a cave where Hüseyin Gazi is popularly believed to have lived for a time. From the summit, the Ankara plain and the city skyline can be seen from a wide angle.
