Somuncu Baba Tomb and Complex The Somuncu Baba Tomb and Complex, named after the 12th-century Sufi Seyyid Hamid-i Veli, is a place of spiritual significance located in Darende. The complex includes a mosque with a single detached minaret that can be observed between towering rock formations and a holy fish pond. Sheikh Hamid-i Veli, who lived from 1331 to 1412, visited many cities throughout his life and ultimately settled in Darende to lead a contemplative existence. Somuncu Baba, who established a çilehane in Tohma Canyon to guide those around him, as well as a lodge on the banks of the Tohma river, passed away in Darende in 1412. He was buried in his lodge, and his funeral prayer was led by one of his followers, Hacı Bayram Veli, who would later become an important teacher. Initially established as a zawiya and madrasah, the tomb of Somuncu Baba later became the mosque that we see today. The minaret of the mosque was added in 1685. The Somuncu Baba Complex, which welcomes thousands of visitors every year, includes a variety of attractions such as the Somuncu Baba Tomb, Hulusi Efendi Cemetery, Somuncu Baba Museum, Hamidiye Bazaar, Ablution Rooms, Sheikh Hamid-i Veli Library, Kudret Pool, Somuncu Baba Çilehane, Tohma Canyon, and recreational areas.
