Kemikli Baba Tomb

One of many tombs in Istanbul, reflecting the moral richness from the ancient times is located in Pendik District, east of the Anatolian Side. Kemikli Baba, one of them, welcomes its visitors with centurial pine tree more than 50 metres long which is even visible from a long distance.

Located on a busy street and at the cross corner of Gülizar Zeki Obdan Elementary School, a sacred saint named Kemikli Baba lies on this tomb under the tree estimated to be standing more than 300 years.

With its rectangular plan, Kemikli Baba Tomb is surrounded with a short wall and fences, and two more nameless graves lie there.
