Cem Sultan's Tomb. Buried in this tomb are the sons of Fatih Sultan Mehmet (the conquerer); Sultan Cem and Sultan Mustafa. Mustafa (the elder son) died in 1474 when returning the conquest of the fortresses near the city of Konya. He was first buried in his uncle Alaaddin Bey's tomb, and later transferred to his own tomb which was built in 1479. Later on, the sons of Fatih (the conqueror) Sultan Abdullah, Sultan Cem (1499), and Alem Sah were buried in the tomb. The octagonal shaped tomb carries characteristics of the 15th century, constructed with the stone and brick, and the inner side is decorated with beautiful tiles and carvings.

MURADIYE MOSQUE... The building of the mosque began in 1425, and was completed in 1426, by Sultan Murat II. The mosque's entrance was constructed with three series of bricks. One series of quarry stone, another of vertical single bricks, and others are covered with various geometrical bricks and tile casings. The doors and the entrance of the mosque, are some of the most beautiful examples of wooden architecture. The ceiling at the entrance, at the main area, are decorated with dark blue and turquoise hexagonal tiles. The mosque has two minarets, the one at northwest side is old and the other one is new, because of the fire at the beginning of the 18th century. The octagonal water tank with the fountain is placed in the north side of the mosque, and octagonal formed marble water tank, which has a fountain, is placed in the middle. This great complex, and Mosque, have been visited by thousands of people every year.
