The tomb is inside the Sheikh Fethullah Complex in Kepenek District, Şeyh Fethullah Street. Sheikh Fethullah Complex; It consists of a mosque, a dervish lodge, a madrasa, a bath and a castel. The tomb of Sheikh Fethullah is in the graveyard on the south side of the mosque, in the east corner of the projection where the mihrab part is located, and the south wall of the other part is an open tomb. The graveyard where the tomb is located is called the Şıh Ocağı. The complex was built in 1563. In the garden of the Kulliye, there are the graves of Karayılan who were martyred in the Antep Defense and many martyrs. Sheikh Fethullah, named after the mosque; Caliph Hz. He is a descendant of Ebubekir. It was made on Hijri 971 (1564 AD). The harim has a cover system that sits on an octagonal stone foot in the middle and is connected to suspension belts with vaults that open in the form of a fan. This type of cover system has not been seen in any other mosque other than the Sheikh Fethullah Mosque. The effects of the Mamluk art can be seen in terms of camider-colored stonework. There is a squat minaret with a single balcony. The Sheikh Fethullah Mosque was built as a social complex with its lodge, caste, madrasah and bath.

It was used as a hospital during the War of Independence and previously used in madrasah education. It includes a rising dome formation with a column that resembles a palm. A very elegant example of interior architecture ... When you climb the stairs right in front of the mosque, there is an underground water source. It is decorated with old houses repaired by the municipality

Sheikh Fethullah Mosque The place of worship, called the Lower Sheikh Mosque and whose real name is Sheikh Fethullah Mosque, is located in Gaziantep's Kepenek District. The mosque's builder, Hz. It is Sheikh Fethullah, a descendant of Abu Bakr. The mosque was built in 1563-1564. Its most important feature is its covering system. The cover system is connected to the hanger belts with vaults that sit on the octagon stone foot in the middle and open in the form of a fan. Its interior, as well as its exterior architecture, has a mystical attraction power. The last year that Şehy Fethullah Mosque underwent repairs was 2008 ... The Sheikh Fethullah Bath, right next to the mosque, is among the historical places that have come to our day.
