Tomb of Sultan Murat

Tomb of Sultan Murat

The Tomb of Sultan Murat (also known as Meşhed-i Hüdâvendigâr) is a 14th-century mausoleum ("türbe") dedicated to the Ottoman Sultan Murat I located in Kosovo, a Serbian province under UN administration.

Murat I (nick-named "Hüdavendigâr", "the God-liked one") died in the Battle of Kosovo (1389), and his remains were taken to Bursa and buried in his tomb (at the Hüdavendigâr complex). But his son Bayezid I still made another tomb in Kosovo in the name of his father.

The monument is known as the most ancient Ottoman work in Kosovo, since it was built in the 14th century. It is also the first symbol of the Turkish and Islam in the Kosovar territory.
