Its story
According to popular belief, the tomb belongs to İmam Zeynel Abidin (Zayn al-Abidin), son of Hz. Hüseyin (Husayn); according to tradition, he received holy relics from his father at Karbala. As the building has no inscription, its date and to whom it belongs are not known for certain. Because of the Karakaya Dam, the tomb was moved to its present site, near the Atabey Pier in Battalgazi. Visited with views of the dam lake, the site is regarded as one of the important places of faith in the region.
