Its story
The Tomb of Şeyh Osman is on a hill rising northeast of the Veysel Karani Tomb in the town of Veyselkarani in Baykan; most of those who come to visit Veysel Karani also stop here. Registered and placed under protection in 1991, the building has today been completely renovated. The rectangular tomb, running east-west, consists of two sections of Ahlat stone: the square-plan eastern part, covered with a dome on pendentives, is used as a masjid and has a mihrab with a semicircular niche; the vaulted western section contains Şeyh Osman's grave with a sarcophagus. Having separate doors for men and women, the building also offers a lovely view of the town and its surroundings from its hilltop position.
