Dome

"Also known as a dergah, a tekke is a lodge for dervishes. Tekkes are a frequent occurrence in Turkish architecture and are usually part of a complex which includes a mosque and memorial tomb. They may be regarded as the counterpart of the more orthodox madrassa. A tekke often consists of a number of individual cells which are used as shelters for the dervishes.""Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, or Mevlana, was a mystic of the Sufi order who died in Konya in 1273. His tomb is a striking conical tower covered in turquoise tiles. It is incorporated into an Ottoman mosque complex, but the mausoleum itself dates from the Seljuk period."exterior, small, freestanding six-sided turbe with dome, July 2010
