In the ancient Turkish tradition, due to the belief in the existence of another life after life, the construction of a cemetery was given importance. The tombs were built in the form of rooms or chambers, and mounds were formed by covering them with earth with the horse, weapons and other necessary equipment that the deceased will use in the next world. With the conversion of the Turks to Islam, this ancient tradition continued and took the name of the mausoleum. Yahya Kemal's understanding of "we live together with our dead", that is, the reconciliation of what is above and below the ground, is a continuation of our ancient tradition, and we have become one of the nations that can translate it into architectural language. This architectural language is a story in its evolution from cemetery to tomb and mausoleum.
The subject of our study is the tombs, which are the symbols of various periods of Turkish architecture, and the structures that have both a memory and a social function, and the unique "Twin Dome Tomb" is the subject. The aim of this study is to understand the spatial arrangement in tomb structures.
