It is in Melikgazi Village of Pınarbaşı District. The tomb, located at the foot of Melikgazi Castle, belongs to Emir Melik Gazi (1104-1134), one of the Danişment people.

There are three mummified corpses, including Melik Gazi, at the bottom of the tomb. The upper floor above the mummy, where the sarcophagus is located, is made of thin and flat bricks.

The tomb, made entirely of bricks, shows very careful workmanship with its brick coverings arranged in various geometric shapes.
