- Süleyman Türkmani Tomb ADD TO MY ROUTE
It is thought that Süleyman Türkmani, who is understood to be a member of the Mevlevi order, was born in 1214 and came to Anatolia with a Turkmen tribe at a young age (1224) with his father, Sheikh Hüseyin, and settled in Konya. It is not known where he was born. He was called Turkmani because his grandfather was a Turkmen Bey. Suleiman Turkmani, who took lessons from Mevlana, came to Kirsehir in 1239 to spread the Mevlevi sect with the encouragement of Mevlana's son Sultan Veled, after his death, and attracted great attention. It is also known that Süleyman Türkmani taught Aşık Paşa in the last years of his life. The greatest work of Süleyman Türkmani, who is known to take lessons from great teachers, is "Tezkire-i Evliya". It is estimated that he died in Kırşehir when he was 84 years old in 1298. His tomb is located in the Imaret District of the city.
