Alemşah Tomb

History & heritage

A monumental tomb near the Great Mosque.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

Alemşah Tomb stands close to the Grand Mosque. It is dated to 1328 and associated with Melikşah’s commemoration of his brother Sultan Şah. The monument shows the continuing influence of Seljuk artistic traditions.

Carved details around the entrance combine geometric, vegetal and figurative decoration. The different inner and outer roof forms are another feature of the tomb’s architecture.

Its setting beside the mosque and near the old market brings worship, remembrance and everyday commerce into the same historic landscape.
