Turbe is the Turkish word for "tomb."

There are many famous turbes across Istanbul of the various sultans of the Ottoman Empire, as well as of other notables from Turkish history. Konya holds the turbe of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, which is a major shrine and pilgrimage point. Bursa holds the turbes of many of the original Ottoman Sultans including Osman I and his son.
