Description

Demir Baba Teke Mausoleum was probably erected between 1612 and 1617. Built over prehistoric and Thracian sanctuaries, the Teke is the grave of the spiritual leader of a community who preached fraternity and love of one's neighbour. The mausoleum features a hexagonal building surmounted by a dome. Some of its walls are made of materials salvaged from former edifices. For instance, on the eastern wall, you will see stones bearing bas-relief carvings. The funeral chamber is decorated with murals and inscriptions.
