Deliler Kuyusu is in the courtyard surrounded by a wall next to the mosque. There is a 50 cm diameter well collar, and below it there is a 60x60 cm square well. The mouth of the well is raised with concrete linings and its depth from the ground is about 2 meters. The tomb is in a very important position by many people with religious sensitivities. It is a frequent destination for many visitors in every period of the year and especially in August when the Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli Commemoration Ceremonies are held.   Sources: https://www.kirikkale.com.tr/mekan/haydar-sultan-turbesi
