In pre-Islamic Turks, the cult of the burial developed with the thoughts that life after death would continue, and they built graves in support of this idea. These tomb structures, called Kurgan, started with the Hun period and continued their existence in the Göktürk and Uygur periods. With the acceptance of Islam by the Turks, the tradition of making monumental tombs continued as tombs and domes. The simple rock pieces erected in the tombs in the early periods were replaced by more artistic stones with the transition to settled life completely.The settlement of Turks in Anatolia in 1071 and the spread of their traditions, culture and arts to Anatolia in time continued rapidly. Turks' acquaintance with Islam before coming to Anatolia caused changes in the field of art and culture.The tombstones, which are the subject of the study, have hosted many civilizations for centuries and are located in Nasreddin Hodja Cemetery in Akşehir district of Konya, the capital of Seljuk. Even the location of the stones is sufficient to emphasize the great importance of the stones.In the study titled "Examples of Principalities and Tombstones from the Ottoman Period from Akşehir Nasreddin Hodja Cemetery", 15 gravestones in the Akşehir Nasrettin Hodja Cemetery were examined. The aim of the research is to introduce the gravestones examined with all their details and to bring the works to the literature by supporting them with photographs and drawings.
