Hudavend Hatun Türbe or Huvand Hatun Türbe is a 14th-century Seljuk tomb in Nigde, Turkey.[1]
It was built as a Türbe (tomb) for Hudavend Hatun, the daughter of Kilij Arslan IV in 1312.[2] It was restored by the General Directorate of Religious Endowments (Vakiflar Genel Mudurlugu) in 1962. The tomb is made of yellow cut stone and is covered by a dome topped with a sixteen-sided pyramidal roof on an octagonal body. Total height is 15,5 metres. White marble was used in the lintels, the arches, the inscription plaques, and the cornice of the dome. The tomb is most known for its elaborate vegetal and zoomorphic carvings.
