- Kesikbaş Tomb ADD TO MY ROUTE
Kesikbaş (Şemsi Tebrizi) Tomb: The tomb located in the southeast of Eskisaray District of Niğde; It is in a group of single-story, rectangular-planned tombs. The building, which measures 5.40x9.95 meters from the outside, was placed in an east-west direction and a yellowish colored finely cut trachyte stone was used in its construction. Since the building was built quite simply, no ornamental elements can be seen. Here lies a severed head. There are many legends and rumors about it. The strongest is that the person lying here is Şemsi Tabrizi. Mehmet Önder identified this belief in his studies by saying in his work "Mevlana" that 'The Kesikbaş Tomb in Niğde is also attributed to Şems'.
