- History
The Tomb of İsmail Fakirullah was built in the 18th century by İbrahim Hakkı of Erzurum for his teacher, İsmail Fakirullah. Thanks to an arrangement devised by İbrahim Hakkı, on 21 March and 23 September, when day and night are equal, sunlight passes through a small opening in the wall and reaches İsmail Fakirullah's grave. The tomb was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2015. İbrahim Hakkı's own tomb is also in Tillo and the two are visited together.
