Gül Baba’s Türbe<br />
52<br />
The türbe (a chapel –like place erected above the tombs of high-ranking Islamic leaders) was built between 1543 and 1548 by Jahjapasazáde<br />
Mehmed, the third pasha of Buda to commemorate the “father of roses” that was Gül Baba. In the Turkish times, he was the most prestigious saint<br />
of Buda and legendary stories about his wonderful deeds were circling round among the people. He was fond of his beautiful flowers. His garden<br />
was so famous that centuries later, Hungarians thought it appropriate to name this part of the city, where the türbe stands, Rózsadomb (Rose Hill) to<br />
honour the baba’s memory. The sanctuary is a popular Mohammedan pilgrimage for the followers of Islam.
