Mihalıççık

Mihalıççık lies in the uplands north of Sivrihisar, in a district associated with the Mihaloğulları, a family of Ottoman frontier raiders. Their religious endowments helped shape the region in the early Ottoman centuries. A nearby tomb is traditionally attributed to Yunus Emre, the Turkish mystic and poet whose verses gave enduring expression to devotion in the vernacular, although other places also claim to be his burial site.
