About this place
Registered on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, the Tomb of Ibrahim Hakki (İbrahim Hakkı Hazretleri Türbesi) is an extraordinary 18th-century sanctuary located in the historic Tillo district of Siirt. Built by the famous polymath Ibrahim Hakki of Erzurum for his revered spiritual master Ismail Fakirullah, this site houses a brilliant astronomical light phenomenon mechanism. Through a precisely calculated stone tower and mirror system on the hills, the first rays of the rising sun strike the tomb's headstone exactly at the equinoxes on March 21 and September 23. For heritage travelers exploring famous ancient places in Eastern Turkey, a visit to this scientific and spiritual marvel rewards history enthusiasts with beautifully preserved masonry, a rare cultural museum, and an unforgettable look into the golden age of Islamic astronomy.
