Abstract
In this study, the tombs where two of the religious leaders, Zeynel Abidin and Seyyid Burhaneddin, lived in Kayseri are burried are examined. The structures are evaluated according to their plan, material and decorative features. Furthermore, construction processes are defined under the lights of studied archive files. Investigated archive files show that even under various troubling circumstances, construction processes are made in a well organized manner. The tombs that are two of the charities in Anatolia made by II. Abdulhamid Han, represent the characteristic features of westernization period.
