About Emir Bayındır Tomb
The Emir Bayındır Tomb (Turkish: Emir Bayındır Kümbeti), also known as the Parmaklıklı Tomb (Turkish: Parmaklıklı Kümbet), is the tomb of Emir Bayındır bin Rüstem, a bey of the Aq Qoyunlu dynasty, located in Ahlat. According to its inscription, the mausoleum was commissioned by his wife, Şah Selime Hatun, following Bayındır's death in October or November of 1481. The tomb also houses the remains of their son, Muhammad, who died in December 1488 or January 1489. At the time of its construction, the structure was part of a larger complex that included a mosque and a zawiya. Although the architect of the mausoleum is unknown, some scholars suggest that Baba Can—known to have designed the mosque within the complex—may have also been responsible for the mausoleum's design.
