Selected for Google Maps and Google Earth

The tomb of Gül Baba reminds the domination of the Turkish in most of the Hungarian territory during almost 150 years. The head of the order of the Bektas was Gül Baba who was charged to found an Islamic religious centre close to the town before the Turkish armies arrive to Buda. Gül Baba was famous for peaceful temper, for his love of the nature, for his verses. According to the legend he always wore a rose on his turban – this is the origin of his nickname: the Father of the Roses. There are many assumptions in connection with his death: one tells that he died because of his old age, the other says he was wounded during the occupation of Buda and he died from his wound in the church. His mortal remains was settled for eternal peace in the türbe (tomb) garden. The türbe is a sanctum from the early Islamic period, it is the fifth or the sixth in the periodical rang of the Ottoman Empire, and the northest Islamic pilgrims place.

Szervusz Tivadar!

Most bukkantam rá erre a régebbi üzenetedre, elnézést a késői válasz miatt. Köszönöm a látogatásod és örülök a kedves üzenetednek. Többször jártam nálad az albumodat látogatva, de nyom nélkül. Ugorj be a Ferencvárosi Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény anaglif kiállítását (Strobl és Eötvös) megnézni, érdemes. Még nem játszottak PS-el de így is nagyokat alkottak.

Üdv,

GyurIca
