Go to the Ahlat Seljuk Cemetery

Ahlat · Bitlis · Türkiye

Ahlat's tombstones also remember their makers: inscription studies at Meydan Cemetery have identified 32 artisans' signatures. From the visitor path, photograph a stone's lettering alongside its ornament. Rather than guess unreadable letters, sketch a motif you can see and add it to your memory; do not touch the stones.
