A velî buried in one of Antalya's rare Anatolian Seljuk-era religious structures; his tomb stands in the Çaybaşı (Kızıltoprak) quarter of the city centre. Per the north-façade inscription dated AH 630/1232-33 (read by some as AH 636/1238-39), the building was commissioned in honour of Shaykh Shujâ al-Dîn by Türkerî ez-Zevâk and his brother. The square, single-domed structure has a burial chamber below and a small mosque above. (Sources: Evliyalar.net; Anatolian Seljuk Architecture database)
