auto_storiesStory

The Bundede Tomb is an important religious structure located in the city center of Çorum and dated to the Seljuk period. Although the exact construction date of the building is unknown, it is believed to belong to the late 13th or early 14th century due to its architectural features and the materials used. The tomb has a simple yet impressive architecture, with a square plan and covered by a dome. The walls of the structure are built with a mixture of rubble stone and brick. Although traces of period-characteristic pen-work decorations can be found in the interior, they have been largely damaged over time and have lost much of their originality. There are different accounts regarding who the tomb belongs to. It is attributed to a saint or religious leader known as 'Bundede' among the public. Such tombs were built to commemorate dervishes and religious scholars who played an important role in the Turkification and Islamization process of Anatolia. The Bundede Tomb, as part of this tradition, has been a place visited and respected by the local people for centuries. Today, with the arrangements made around the tomb, it has been transformed into an area where visitors can easily access and worship.
