The Hallac-ı Mansur Tomb is located in the Gelibolu district of Çanakkale province, near the Saruca Pasha Mosque. The tomb is attributed to Hallac-ı Mansur, a famous Sufi and thinker who lived in the late 9th and early 10th centuries. However, given that Hallac-ı Mansur was executed in Baghdad and his body was burned, there are differing opinions among historians regarding whether this tomb in Gelibolu truly belongs to Hallac-ı Mansur. Some researchers suggest that this tomb might be a shrine dedicated to Hallac-ı Mansur's spiritual memory or belong to another Sufi who followed his path. The tomb may have been built during the Ottoman period or re-arranged on an existing structure. Architecturally, the tomb has a simple structure, typically square-planned and domed. Inside, there is a sarcophagus attributed to Hallac-ı Mansur. For centuries, it has been a place visited and respected by the local people. Especially visited by Sufis and those seeking spiritual guidance, the tomb is an important part of Gelibolu's cultural and religious heritage.
