The tomb of Gazi Baba stands on a hill northeast of Skopje and, by local tradition, is the grave of the 16th-century Ottoman poet and kadi of Skopje Aşık Çelebi (given name Pir Mehmed) (TDV, "Aşık Çelebi", Günay Kut). Born in Prizren in 1520, Aşık Çelebi is the author of the celebrated biographical dictionary of poets Meşairü'ş-şuara; after various judgeships he died of pleurisy while kadi of Skopje in 979/1572 and was buried here. The tomb was destroyed in the 1963 earthquake and rebuilt in 2013 with support from the Bursa Municipality. The identification of Gazi Baba with Aşık Çelebi is an accepted local tradition rather than documented certainty (noted transparently).
