Its story

The Gelibolu Mevlevihane was founded before 1620 on a large plot near the seashore in Hamzaköy. The buildings damaged in the 1766 earthquake were repaired under Mustafa III, and part of the complex was used for military purposes in later periods. The surviving semahane (ceremonial hall) and tomb are regarded, for their decoration, as among the most magnificent of Mevlevi buildings. Opened to visitors after restoration, the lodge hosts sema (whirling) performances on certain days.
