Beside Erenler Mezarlığı in Erbaa, the Erenler Türbesi is a square domed tomb without an inscription, surrounded by many gravestones from the 14th century. Its walls are rubble masonry faced with cut stone; the arches are cut stone and the dome is brick, covered on the outside by a conical cap. Each of the four sides has an arched opening, and the stone faces of the arches carry half-star motifs linked by mouldings.
Inside, the transition elements hold flat-vaulted brick niches. All of the building below the springing of the arches is buried in earth, so the burial floor and the sarcophagus cannot be reached.
