Kesikbaş Tomb
It is on the Parsana road behind the Memleket Hospital in the Medrese District. The Mahruti domed tomb is one of the main heirlooms that have survived to the present day by preserving all the cleanliness and characteristics of the Seljuk architecture. The lower part was built with completely reddish Sille and stream cut large Gödene stones, and the dome was built with bricks. The use of two kinds of stones provides an exceptional and very elegant condition to the monument from afar. The basement of the mausoleum was made slightly above the ground level and four corners up to the level of the door, and after leaving a muselles in each of its four corners on the ground, it passed into eight corners. Müselles corners can also be counted as resting places for sitting like a chair. Its gate opens to the east. In harmony with the door, another large window with a large marble frame was built on each of its three faces. The tomb also receives light from eight slit windows from above. The solid marble frames of its door form a wreath with elegant and high reliefs slightly above. The door is accessed by a two-step ladder made of purple marble on both sides. The edges of the stairs and the landing are embroidered in the form of a ribbon. The door of the basement floor, which should have been located under this staircase, remained under the ground. It can be unearthed with a little excavation. A lightning rod was placed on top of the tomb. While praising this graciousness, we add that we do not find it right to hammer thick irons on its holeless and perfect dome. Small holes were made on the left side of the tomb under the pretext of making a fringe. A row of stones has fallen in the müselsin in its right corner. After these deficiencies, which can be compensated, are completed, a sample can be presented to the visitors as a museum. The tomb was used as a gunpowder warehouse of the municipality for a while.
