Danyal Peygamber Kabri - Makam-ı Şerif Câmii

In this place, probably, buried Saint Prophet Daniel. You can see the ruins of old sanctuary under the glass platform. Today is a mosque.

Prophet Daniel rests in peace at Tarsus. He was from sons of Israel and lived in Jerusalem. He had been known as prophet of fertility or rain-maker. He was called upon duty when a severe draught hit Tarsus in order to pray for rain fall. He died at Tarsus during that journey. After many years Islamic forces conquered the city and they found his skeleton and a finger with a ring. Danyal identity is discovered from that ring with figure of two lions and a kid in between. His body re-buried hidden so that his grave could not be detected and therefore it was protected against theft of grave diggers stealing it. This was a precaution taken by Omer the Caliph.
