Look closely
Consider details, materials and the relationship with the surrounding landscape.
The Süzani complex includes a tomb tower, an adjoining tomb and a hazire, or burial ground. These elements form a wider commemorative and religious setting.
The square, two-storey tomb tower is built from dressed stone, with a lower burial chamber and an upper domed space. An entrance eyvan, mihrab and plaster details contribute to its character.
Inscribed grave monuments introduce the history of writing and commemoration as well as architecture. Conditions described in older inventories should not automatically be treated as an up-to-date account of access or conservation.
