Yunus Hoca Tomb

History & heritage

Another chapter of funerary architecture.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Yunus Hoca Tomb is associated with the Seljuk official Sadreddin Hoca Yunus. It should not be confused with a monument to the poet Yunus Emre.

Its dome and decorated marble doorway are notable features. Recorded carvings include rosettes, foliage, geometric bands and a lion pursuing a deer.

The relationship between published dates and associated historical events calls for care, so this account avoids forcing them into a settled chronology. The architecture offers a useful comparison with Sivrihisar’s other commemorative buildings.
