The thrree cupolas are among the most beautiful examples of the monumental mausoleums in Anatolia. It is believed that the largest one of three cupolas belongs to Emir Saltuk and that it was built towards the end of the 12^th century. Whereas it is not known to whom the other cupolas belong, it is estimated that they were built in the 14^th century. In addition, there are various views about the small building with a square shape next to the cupolas. It is indicated that this also might be a cupola or a small mosque. The three cupolas were renovated by the Ministry ıf Education in the year 1956. The cupola of the Emir Saltuk; which has been built with cut stones has an octagonal body, has high drum and it is covered with an oblate cone which is actually the combination of a cone and a dome. There are animal relieves like bulls, snakes, bats on the pediments and the drum niches with round arches of the cupola made with colored stones. These relieves resemble the zodiac constellations that are seen on the Middle Asian Turkish calendars. A human head figure carved between the horns of a bull relief within one of the niches attracts attention. There are pairs of twin windows on the four facades of the octagonal Emir Saltuk cupola. Animal compositions and floral decorations which have geometrical designs are observed on the fringes on the entrance gate of the cupola which is on the north side. Second cupola; which is at the southeast of the Emir Saltuk cupola has a square base plan and twelve facades. This cupola has been built with a local gray stone. It has a small window upper window and three heavily decorated lower windows. The window of this cupola that is on the southern side also has the appearance of a mihrap (niche showing the direction to mekka) Third cupola; that is 4 meters away from the second cupola has been built with the local Keyek stone. The third cupola has twelve facades and four windows. The cupola which has an entrance door on the northern side has a really beautifully decorated mihrab within it. The drum of the conical dome covering the cupola has decorations which resemble the ones on the Emir Saltuk cupola. (City Guide Erzurum, Published by Tablet İletişim)
