Sultan Selim II's Tomb 1577
Architect Mimar Sinan
The Tomb of Selim II holds a special place among the tombs designed by Sinan. Its outward appearance consists of a square prism with bevelled corners and a superimposed octagonal prism buttressed with four trompes. The entrance porch is both domed and eaved. There is a recess on each side of the entrance. The wide eave overhangs are supported by iron stanchions.
