Tomb of Sultan Murad, Pristina

Sultan Murad's Tomb (Albanian: Tyrbja e Sulltan Muratit; Turkish: Sultan I. Murad Türbesi, also known as Meşhed-i Hüdâvendigâr) is a mausoleum (türbe) dedicated to Ottoman Sultan Murad I in Kosovo's Prishtina District. This is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Kosovo.


Murad I (nicknamed Hüdavendigâr, which in this context means "God-liked one" or "sovereign") was slain in the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. Murad I's son Bayezid I created the monument in the 14th century, making it the first example of Ottoman architecture in Kosovo. His internal organs were buried at Kosovo Polje and are still preserved in the site's mausoleum.


Murad's additional bones were transported to Bursa, his Anatolian capital, and interred in his second tomb in Bursa's Hüdavendigâr complex. In 1660, Evliya elebi noted the monument. For the local Muslims, the grave has taken on religious importance.
