THE TÜRBE (TOMB) OF SULTAN SELIM II It is the first burial construction in the graveyard of Ayasofya made by the Architect Sinan, in 1577. The external walls of the building are covered with marble panels and there is a three-arched small porch (riwaq) at the front. The building has an octagonal plan covered with two domes, supported by half-domes and eight columns facing the internal walls. The building is a masterpiece together with its 16th century Iznik tile inscription, tile panels and calligraphic works. There is a quite modest marble mihrab, according to the early period's tomb architecture, on the southern side of the building. Sultan Selim II (1566-1574), his wife Nurbanu Sultan, Sokullu Mehmed Pasha (Grand vizier)'s wife Esmihan Sultan, the daughters and the sons of Sultan Murad III were buried here. سليم الثاني ابن سليمان القانوني / استانة - صوفيا ( ٩٣٠ - ٩٨٢ ) تسلطن سنة ٩٧٤ يلقب صاري سلطان سليم ومعناه السلطان سليم الأصفر لأنه كان أشقر الشعر

Selim II, was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1566 until his death in 1574. He was a son of Suleiman the Magnificent and Haseki Hürrem Sultan. Selim had been an unlikely candidate for the throne until his brother Mehmed died of smallpox, his half-brother Mustafa was strangled to death by the order of his father, and his brother Bayezid was killed in a coordinated effort between him and his father. The tomb is magnificent. Surely a place to visit
It's Free! The architecture and detailed craftsmanship is worth your time. Won't take you long to check out each tomb. Very nicely designed and in great condition. They have robes for women at each tomb when you enter.
Very interesting architecture. Check it out if you are here. No ticket required.
Astonishing sultan tombs, decorated by ornamental tiles, wood carvings and stone and wood inlay. Worth to see. A magic place.
only garvs very sad place but it is well designed and filled with flowers
This is the grave of Ottoman Empire 2nd Sultan mehmet. It’s located behind Hagia Sophia Museum and in front of topkapı sarayı. Here you will get, Sultan III. Murad Türbesi, Sultan III. Mehmed Türbesi, Sultan I. Mustafa and Sultan İbrahim Türbesi also. You will see here graves of empire’s son also. There is no entry fee for visiting these graves. So if you come to visit Ayasofya, you can visit these also.
It is the grave of a sultan who is burried alongside with his children and wives who were killed on the day the sultan died, by the eldest son so that the other children cannot claim rights to the throne. So sad place to visit.
