Typological analysis of Mevlevi, Hüseyin Gazi and Koyun Baba tombs in the Çorum

The aim of this thesis study, which examines the manifestation of the Mevlevi and Bektashi schools, which were common in Anatolia for a period, in the architectural works in the province of Çorum, has been prepared and completed with the method of data collection by examining the sources, literature and examining the architectural structures on site, especially in the focus of Çorum Mevlevihanesi, Alaca Hüseyin Gazi and Osmancık Koyun Baba Tombs. When the architectural features of the period are examined, attention has been drawn to the distinctive and decisive features of the interior and exterior decorative architectural structures such as domes, mahfils, pulpits, facade decorations, building materials on the basis of rectangular and octagonal plans, compared to the architectural works of the period in other provinces. Although no information or document has reached and there have been changes in its original plans over time, it has undergone multiple modifications, but in its current form, it has a rectangular planned, dome-covered, eight wooden columned semahane section, and it is the same as in other eras in western Anatolia. Unlike mevlevihanes, it is a mevlevihane with a simple structure that does not have interior decorations and only has hand-drawn ornaments on the inner tomb wall and still continues to perform dhikr on certain days of the week. In the tomb, horosan mortar was used between the building material consisting of cut stone on the foundation, rubble stone on the upper layer and bricks in places, covered with cross vault with niches in the interior, handcrafted sliced ornaments were applied on the vault cover, since the tomb attributed to Hüseyin Gazi is a twelve-slice tombstone. It makes us think that he was a member of the Bektashi order. The tomb is closed to visitors today after the renovations it underwent over time. The Koyun Baba Tomb, which was built by Bayezit II in 963 Hijri, has an octagonal plan, a dome from the inside and a pyramidal roof from the outside, as well as its distinctive feature as a cutting material. stone is used. The tomb, which draws attention with its Gülbezek decoration on the keystone in the arch of the entrance door, is open to visitors today. and 19th century. The above-mentioned mevlevihane, dervish lodge and tomb structures in the borders of Çorum province, where Seljuk and Ottoman structures built between the Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman Empire were examined, were affected by the religious, political, cultural and economic conjuncture of the period, but they reflected the symbols of the sect they belonged to on their architectural designs. Although it is extremely important in terms of having the opportunity to read, unfortunately, we observe that these cultural heritages have undergone renovations for different reasons over time, differentiated from their original plans, and have been damaged in important symbols, hand-drawn ornaments and writings. It is important to spread the belief that it should be protected.
