The figure venerated in an Ottoman-era (16th-century) tomb built on a large rock on the road up to Alanya Castle, near the Red Tower. In waqf records of Süleyman the Magnificent's reign the endowment is registered as 'Sitti Zeynep bint Zeynelâbidîn'; she is said to be a daughter of Zeyn al-Âbidîn of the line of Husayn, though her identity is not firmly established (disputed/cenotaph). Evliya Çelebi records the building as a Bektashi lodge. (Sources: Evliyalar.net; Antalya Cultural Heritage Inventory)
