Its story
There is no definite historical information about the identity of Abdurrahman Gazi; what is told is based on folk tradition. According to tradition, Abdurrahman Gazi was a standard-bearer martyred during the conquest of the region and was buried where he fell. The present tomb was built in 1796 by Ayşe Hanım, wife of Yusuf Ziya Paşa, the governor of Erzurum at the time. Right next to the tomb, at the foot of Mount Palandöken southeast of the city center, is the Abdurrahman Gazi Mosque, and it is a place of pilgrimage frequently visited by the city's people. The unusual length of the grave has also been the subject of legends.
