Sarı Saltuk (Babaeski Cenotaph)

Sarı Saltuk (d. 697/1297-98) was a legendary dervish-warrior prominent in the Islamization of Anatolia and the Balkans. After his death, cenotaph-lodges were opened in his name at several centres, one being the Eski Baba Lodge in Babaeski. The lodge-tomb was ruined during the Balkan War occupation and the 1925 closure of lodges, then fully destroyed during Istanbul-Edirne road works. His actual grave is held to be in Babadağı, Romania; Babaeski is a makam (cenotaph). (Sources: TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi 'Sarı Saltuk' [M. Kiel]; F.

Şeyh Bâlî of Vize

Şeyh Bâlî was a Halveti sheikh who held a lodge (zaviye) in Vize. The Edirne Yearbook of H.1310 records that his lodge-form tomb stood in Vize; Abdurrahman Bâdî Efendi likewise relates that the lodge had fallen into ruin while the tomb remained standing. Vize was a long-standing Sufi centre hosting many lodges. (Sources: Edirne Provincial Yearbook H.1310; A. Bâdî Efendi, Riyâz-ı Belde-i Edirne; R. Engin)

Zindan Baba

The Zindan Baba Tomb in Lüleburgaz (Kocasinan neighbourhood) is an Ottoman, Bursa-type single-domed structure standing where the dungeon of Lüleburgaz Castle once was. Its oldest record is the Edirne Yearbook of H.1310. The identity of the buried figure is uncertain, contested between folk narrative and historical record; one view proposes he may be Kasım Paşa, son of Sokollu Mehmed Paşa. It is a registered monument open to visitors. (Sources: Kırklareli Cultural Heritage Inventory, reg. 39-05-708; TÜRÜK Journal)
