Muşalikalesi

Akdağmadeni Musalikalesi (Behramşah Castle); (Tombs of Ali Çelebi and Mahmut Çelebi) Akdağmadeni is a small castle built on a high hill to the north of the village in the village of Musalikalesi. This castle, which belongs to Necmed-din Bahramşah-ı Candar, one of the orders of Gıyaseddin Keykavus (1237-1246), was probably built in the XIII century. It is thought to have been built in the first half of the century. The high castle walls are covered with cut stone on rubble stone. Inside, these rows of stones are lined up in diagonal rows like bricks, forming the zigzag wall cover. There are three long rectangular bastions on the western and northern outer walls. The castle, of which a large part is still standing, is worth seeing.

In the north of the village, there is a castle (Muşali - Mushallim Castle) that dominates all sides, and two tombs built on its western skirt. The one closest to the castle is the Ali Çelebi Tomb and the one below is the Mahmut Çelebi Tomb. There are tombstones inside and outside the tomb. According to the inscriptions on it, the tomb must have been built between 871/1466 or 875/1471. There is no ornamental element. The rest of the two tombs to the west of Musali - Mushallim Castle, below, is a tomb with a destroyed dome. It is no different from the Musali - Mushallimoglu Ali Tomb above it. Its dome and upper part were destroyed. The 112th Surah of the Qur'an is written on the broken tombstone inside the tomb. On the other two, the deceased's name and date of death are written. It may have been built in Recep 882/1477 by Mahmut Çelebi, the son of Mahmut Çelebi, the son of the Great Emir Ali Çelebi. This building belongs to Mahmut Çelebi, the son of Ali Çelebi, the grandson of Mushallim. The top of the burial chamber is covered with juniper trees.
