Editor's Note
Located northeast of the village of Ziyaret, the Sait Vakkas Tomb stands on a hill overlooking the Araban plain. Rectangular in plan, the structure is built of neatly dressed stone. Above the door lintel there are ornaments with a projecting course of dentils and tongue-motif decorations at the corners. To the right of the small flat-arched door is a niche. In front of the niche are two hollows carved into the bedrock, which the local people call the "net stone" (ağ taşı). On the east and west façades there is a square window on each side, tapering from inside to outside. Bağdadi-style plaster was used in the interior of the building.
