Away from urban neighborhoods in the territory of the children's hospital is the tomb - the mausoleum of Idris Baba. About the man lying in the mausoleum, there is little information. According to modern historians Idris Baba is revered as a Saint, in the course of his life has committed many wonders.

The mausoleum, built in 1591, is an octagonal structure with a width of 6 m and height 8. 5 meters with a dome, under which lies a sarcophagus. Windows are located on two levels: the lower arch, upper – round. The original entrance to the mausoleum was immured – we've got a unique niche. A new entrance in the Gothic style emerged after reconstruction in the late 17th century. In the 18th century the mausoleum served as a chapel. Later gunpowder cellar.

In 1912, when it was discovered the burial place of Idris Baba, the tomb has been partially restored, and in 1961, after the recognition of its historical, finally put in order. The government of the Turkish Republic donated the tomb sepulchral monument, a traditional ritual of fabric and a prayer Mat.
