ZEYNEL ABİDİN TOMB

It is known that Zeynel Abidin, one of the notables of the Rufai Order, had a lodge, mosque and fountain built in the 15th century in the vicinity of the present tomb. Zeynel Abidin, who was known as Imam Sultan in Kayseri, died in Kayseri in 1414 and a modest tomb was built on his grave today. During the reign of II. Abdülhamit, the current tomb was built on the site of Zeynel Abidin's grave in 1886. The tomb is a square planned structure and is covered with a dome. There are two-line couplets on all the windows of the building, which has three windows on each of its four sides. There is Zeynel Abidin's sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb.

On the inscription on the building's entrance door, there is II. Abdülhamit's monogram engraved on an oval medallion.
