Suleymaniye Necropolis

The Süleymaniye Necropolis is not merely a cemetery, but a unique historical and architectural complex where the funerary culture of the Ottoman Empire is presented in its highest form. Here, on an area of just a few hundred square meters, are the burial grounds of rulers, spanning almost two centuries of Ottoman history—from Suleiman the Magnificent (d. 1566) to Ahmed II (d. 1695).
