Its story
The Tomb of Kuzucu Sultan is at the southeast corner of the mosque of the same name, and its door opens into the mosque. On an octagonal body, it is covered with a dome inside and a pyramidal cap outside; the cubic burial chamber is of stone, while the upper half of the body and the cap are of brick. The burial chamber contains two large and two small sarcophagi; on the upper floor, opposite the door, there is a plain niche-shaped mihrab. Although it is not known who Kuzucu Sultan was, the building is dated to the 13th century by its architectural features. The painted decoration inside was later plastered over.
