Tomb of Alâeddin Bey
Merkez, Karaman
A 14th-century kümbet at the foot of the castle containing the grave of the Karamanid Alâeddin Bey.
Its story
The kümbet was built, probably in his lifetime, in the name of the Karamanid Alâeddin Bey, who ruled the principality from 1361 and died in 1397–98. It is known to have been built as part of a complex, but the complex's mosque has not survived and the building has no inscription. Built of cut stone, the kümbet is notable for its plain and balanced proportions continuing the Seljuk kümbet tradition. It was restored by the General Directorate of Foundations in the 1960s. It is in the Hisar neighborhood, right next to Karaman Castle.
