| Summary: | Architectural structures that have been damaged for various reasons over time have maintainined their existence and transferring them to the future is possible through repair activities. However, in some cases where the structures are subject to advanced deterioration, the interventions can overshadow the original identity of the work and cause it to take on the character of the period in which it was repaired. This situation brings with it the problem of dating for structures that do not have a construction inscription or are not mentioned in any written record. Within the scope of the study, the Tomb of Halil Dede, located in Aktepe Village of Ürgüp District of Nevşehir, which has not been included in the literature of architecture and art history before, and attributed to Halil Dede, one of the Khorasan saints of the Seljuk period, was discussed in the context of its plan, material and decoration features. The origin and dating of the building, about which there is no information other than a repair inscription from the 19th century, has the subjected of research. The work examined on site was documented by photography and sketch drawing methods, and compared with examples with similar space setups in different regions of Anatolia. Thus, considering the stylistic features of the work in question and all the data regarding the identity of Halil Dede, it was concluded that the building can be dated to the period covering the 14th and 15th centuries. |
