Its story
The Piraziz district takes its name from Pir Aziz, associated with the Turkish settlement of the region. According to one tradition, Şeyh İdris set out from Bukhara in 1386 and settled in the region with his disciples, sending one of his disciples, Pir Aziz, to the present-day village of Nefs-i Piraziz. Another view suggests that the name of a bey called Pir Aziz, son of İbrahim, who governed the region in the Ottoman period, was given to the district. The tomb is south of the district center, right next to the Pir Aziz Mosque, and is visited by local people. The tombs of Şeyh İdris are on the Gökçeali side, southwest of the district.
