Alanya, Antalya Province, Türkiye
Tomb of Sitti Zeynep (Sitti Zeynep Türbesi)
Sayyida Zaynab bint Ali Zayn al-Abidin (Sitti Zeynep)
The burial is attributed by local tradition and Ottoman endowment records; the Antalya heritage inventory notes that her grave is also placed in Nusaybin, so this may be a memorial tomb.
A small domed tomb on a large rock beside Kale Yolu, the road climbing to Alanya Castle, dedicated by tradition to Sitti Zeynep, a daughter of Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin and granddaughter of Imam Husayn. Ottoman endowment records name her "Sitti Zeynep bint Zeynülabidin". The present building dates to the 16th-century Ottoman period, with a domed prayer section, a mihrab and a raised grave in its western room, and Evliya Çelebi recorded it in the 17th century as a dervish lodge. Largely forgotten beyond the town, it is a registered monument (1995) and was restored by Alanya Municipality and the Antalya endowments office; visitors come to pray and ask for her intercession.
