KOCAHAN

Ottoman Vizier Nasuh Pasha stopped by here after returning from the Ottoman-Persian Treaty and had the Inn built in 1599. Its plan is detached (rectangular). It is a long building with a rectangular plan. The outer walls are made of rubble, large stones, lime mortar, and the joints are unplastered masonry. The spaces between the rubble stones are compressed with bricks placed horizontally and vertically, and filled with sand and small gravel mortar. It is a wide and long vault with a circular door. Inside the vault, two more vaults with pointed arches extend on both sides, and these are used as warehouses. On the inside of the vault, there is a circular arch made of cut red limestone. A horseshoe measuring approximately 0.20×0.23 and with 18 holes was found on the outer side of the arch. The inside is a wide and long wall surrounded by four walls. It is a courtyard. There are open hearth areas in short intervals on the walls, all the way up to the front.

The roof of this inn, which is understood to consist of 46 rooms and 46 chimneys, has been demolished and its walls still exist. The area it covers is 3000 m2. A simple wooden porch, covered with metal sheeting, was built on the inside of these walls, in a way that surrounds the courtyard. The inscription, which is said to be on the side of the building, fell and shattered in the earthquake of 1944. The building, which was used as a vegetable market on Mondays, should be protected.

The inscription regarding the construction of the inn was made and replaced in later years. This inscription reads as follows:

Nasuh Pasha, the vizier-i paki, decided to build this inn.

Tatar Ali Sergeant pushed the tefviz building and entrusted it to him

Uda girded the belt of effort with a roux and pushed it in two places.

Twenty-fourth hour of the thousand and fourteenth Zilkade

They all came together and started to build this inn.

When April of the year 1115 ended, the construction of this inn came to an end.

NASUHPAŞA MOSQUE

It was rebuilt in the same width and today’s form on the site of the old mosque, which was demolished under the supervision of a French engineer who came to Nallıhan in 1911.

The mosque was built with a rectangular plan, smooth cut stone with a wooden roof and Turkish tiles. In the north, there is a narthex with eight square columns connected to each other by arches, open on both sides and front, and covered with a wooden roof. The door that provides access from the narthex to the harem has a keystone protrusion and a circular arch. The prayer hall is covered by a wooden ceiling with a central hub. The narthex is made of wood on two four-cornered stone columns. The mosque has a total of nine pointed pieces. It is illuminated by an arched window. The edges of the mihrab are stepped, almost pointed, with circular arches and a simple cornice. The pulpit is made of cut stone, and the railing of the pulpit is made of wood and simple.

The minaret adjacent to the western wall of the mosque is made of cut stone, its base has a square plan and its body is dodecagonal. The Doric capital under the balcony is made of stone, and the cone is covered with metal.

On the west side of the mosque courtyard, there is a tomb with a simple roof with Turkish style tiles, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. There are two large and four small graves inside.

ULUHAN MOSQUE

Only the minaret of the original structure of the Uluhan Village Mosque, which is understood to have been built together with the inn built on the 3rd range between Ankara and Göynük by Nasuh Pasha, who was the grand vizier at the beginning of the 17th century, has survived. It is certain that the work, located in the earthquake zone, was damaged and renewed by earthquakes that occurred several times after its construction. However, the main walls of the mosque partially preserved their old condition. The wooden women’s gallery on the north side of the mosque with a longitudinal rectangular plan and wooden ceiling is special. The original minaret, located 2.80 meters away from the mosque in the northwest corner of the mosque, is in ruins. Cut stones were used in the base of the square-based and brick-bodied minaret, and the stones are lined with bricks.

TAPTUK EMRE TOMB

It belongs to Yunus Emre’s teacher Taptuk Emre. It is in the Emremsultan village of Nallıhan.

It is located in the cemetery on a slightly sloping land to the right of the entrance to Emremsultan Village. It has a square plan and a dome. Its walls are 6×6 m. in size and 1.6 m. thick from the inside. During the construction of the Sarıyar Dam, while the tomb was being repaired by Etibank between 1954 and 1958, in order to protect the dome, a roof in the form of an umbrella cone covered with wooden tiles and projecting eaves was placed on the dome. The tomb is entered from the east through a very plain and low arched door. The original wooden door wings were removed from the tomb and are kept in the new mosque in the village. There is a four-line inscription carved on a spoliated ancient marble above the low-arched door entrance. The rectangular window, 1.5 m high and 67 cm wide, is the only opening on the south wall. The load-bearing walls are built of rubble stone, the dome and pendentives. is brick masonry.

BACIM SULTAN TOMB

The tomb was transferred to the General Directorate of Foundations in 1991, and it attained its current appearance with the restoration carried out in the same year. During the restoration, the annexes in front of the tomb were removed, the tiled roof on the dome was removed and the dome was repaired, and the original door wings stored in the mosque courtyard were sent to the Ankara Ethnography Museum for preservation.

It belongs to Bacım Sultan, the daughter of Yunus Emre’s teacher Taptuk Emre. It is in the village of Tekke, which is 14 km away from Nallıhan. 200 meters below this tomb, which has a roof on a stony hill with juniper trees around it, there is a well whose water is drawn with a bucket. The water is salty. The reason is;

While my sister Sultan was kneading the dough, they said, “Your father is coming.” She jumped up with joy and ran towards the fields. When she saw that her hand was covered with dough, she felt afraid that it would be disrespectful to her father, and she suddenly knelt on the ground and begged God. She bent down to the ground and said, “Come out, blessed.” Water came out immediately. My sister Sultan also softened her hands.

Bacım Sultan Tomb was rebuilt by the villagers in the late 1960s. In Tekke Village, patients brought to Bacım Sultan Tomb are left in the tomb. They are made to drink the water of Bacım Sultan Well and take a bath with this water. It is said among the people that many of the patients recovered.

CAFER SADIK

While the tomb of Sheikh Cafer, a student of Tabtuk EMRE’s grandmother, was in Nallıkozlu village, it was transferred to the plateau of the same village before the village was flooded by the waters of Gökçekaya Dam Lake. Sheikh Cafer had a very harsh temperament when he was alive. He must have been disturbed by the drum being played at the wedding because he grabbed the drum and threw it to the other side of Sakarya. Since that day, drums are not played at weddings in the villages of Nallıkozlu, Ömer Şeyhler and Emremsultan.

No brushwood or wood is cut around the tomb.

OMER SHEIKHLER

Like Cafer Sadık, Ömer Şeyhler is also a student of Tabtuk. His tomb is in Ömer Şeyhler Village, close to where Nallı Stream meets the Sakarya River. The picture on the side is the picture of his tomb, which remained standing for years only with the efforts of the villagers. Alta is his grave located in his mausoleum.
