Its story
According to the provincial directorate of culture and tourism, the Şahkulu Bey Kümbet in Kızıltepe is one of the important buildings remaining from the Artuqid period and is dated to the 12th century. Damaged over time, the kümbet was restored in 2021; during the work three graves were uncovered inside, and the period they belong to is being researched. Thanks to its location near the Ulu Mosque, those who want to see the district's Artuqid heritage can visit the two buildings together. As the kümbet is a small building, it can be seen on a short stop.
