Barbarossa Hayrettin Pasha Tomb 1541
Architect Mimar Sinan
Barbarossa Hayrettin Pasha was the feared naval admiral of Süleyman the Magnificent. The type of tomb plan Sinan most labored over all his life was an octagon-based "Türbe". This is one of his most perfect examples: both externally and internally octagonally shaped and decked with an eaved entrance.
