Abdurrahman Gazi Tomb and Mosque
Abdurrahman Gazi Türbesi
A saint’s cemetery on the southern hillside of the city, a place of pilgrimage for locals, with views over the entire Erzurum basin.
The tomb is believed to belong to one of the standard-bearers of the Prophet Muhammad, and it is highly revered locally. On weekends, local families often come to pray and picnic here. A mosque and a fountain stand beside the tomb, and the hillside offers wide views that make it a good place to watch the city at night and the sunset. It is about 5 km from the city center, roughly 15 minutes by taxi. Visitors should dress respectfully, and women should cover their heads when entering the tomb.
