Its story
Sarı Saltuk is a dervish known for the legends about him, with tombs and shrines in his name across a wide geography stretching from Anatolia to the Balkans; there are buildings attributed to him in many places such as İznik and Babadağ. The tomb in Hozat is one of these and is mentioned in district sources among the district's important religious buildings. The Kültür Envanteri (Cultural Inventory) record dates the building to the Seljuk period, the 13th century, and shows it as accessible to visitors. The Hozat area is also associated with the Sarı Saltık ocak (lineage), which holds an important place in the Alevism of Tunceli; for this reason the tomb is visited as part of local religious life.
