Yunus Emre Complex and Tomb

The folk poet, Yunus Emre, was born in 1240 in Sarıköy, which is between the Mihalıççık and Sivrihisar district of Eskişehir and is currently named after him.

It is understood that he wrote his mesnevi named Risalet-ün Nushiyye which contains many important poems between 1307 and 1308. Divan, which brought together his poems, was organized by his fans after his death.

It is understood from his poems that he was a contemporary of Mevlana Celalettin Rumi, that he knew him, attended his meetings and, in his own words, was inspired by his "glorious eye" (from the beautiful and flamboyant point of view).

The mausoleum of Yunus Emre is located in the district of Mihalıçcık in Eskişehir.
