Photograph by David Coleman. The royal tombs (türbe) in the Suleymaniye Mosque complex represent significant examples of Ottoman funerary architecture. Sultan Suleiman I's octagonal tomb, completed in 1566, was designed by chief architect Mimar Sinan, who also designed the mosque complex. The tomb of Hürrem Sultan, also known as Roxelana, was built in 1558 upon her death. She was one of the most influential royal consorts in Ottoman history, rising from slave status to become Suleiman's legal wife. Their daughter Mihrimah Sultan's tomb, added later, completes this important family grouping. The mausoleums feature traditional Ottoman architectural elements including domed roofs, decorated tiles, and calligraphic inscriptions. These türbe demonstrate the Islamic burial traditions of the Ottoman elite, with raised catafalques indicating the position of the actual burials below ground level. The tombs' location within the mosque complex reflects the Ottoman practice of incorporating royal burial sites into larger religious complexes, combining spiritual and memorial functions in a single architectural ensemble.
