A small masjid. Nearby is a larger building that seems to be a tekke founded by the person, His Excellency Seyyid Emir Ahmet Buhari, who was an eminent Islamic scholar and a descendant of Muhammad. He lived in the late 15th and early 16th century, came from the city of Bukhara in today’s Uzbekistan, introduced a dervish sect with roots in the spiritual side of Islam and the sultan had a lodge built to house the increasing numbers of followers. Burial places of leaders of the sect are next to it, some of these you see on one picture (it looked ruinous as restoration had not finished).
