Damad Ali Pasha's Türbe (Mausoleum), Belgrade

Damad Ali Pasha's Türbe is an Ottoman mausoleum erected by the Ottoman Empire in 1784. It is located in the Belgrade Fortress. It has a hexagonal base and few decorative accents, which is indicative of Islamic funerary architecture.

The mausoleum was built over the grave of Izzet Mehmed Pasha, commander of Belgrade. It was damaged during the First Serbian Uprising and rebuilt in the early 19th century.

The mausoleum held the body of Silahdar Damat Ali Pasha. Damat Ali Pasha was a vizier. According to the plaque above the mausoleum's portal, Damat Ali Pasha conquered the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece. Selim Pasha and Hasan Pasha, commanders of Belgrade, were also buried in the mausoleum.

Over the years, the mausoleum was used as a storage building, and then a weapons museum. Much of the building was destroyed in 1915 during the bombing of Belgrade. It was restored in the 1930s.

The mausoleum is open 24 hours, seven days a week.
