Oruç Pasha Türbe

The Oruç Pasha türbe also known locally as the Pyrostia (Greek: Πυροστιά) or the Tripod (Τρίποδας) is a türbe, or Ottoman mausoleum, of Oruç Pasha in the town of Didymoteicho, northerneast Greece, dating back to the fifteenth century.

He brought remarkable building activity to the city, today the homonymous hamams are preserved.

The name Pyrostia or Tripod is used by the local population and is due to a visual impression created by the monument at a certain angle.

It is an open-type türbe and consists of a podium with an arched chamber which in the past held a brick dome, which has now collapsed.

The building materials are interconnected with geometrical relationships such as the golden ratio and their sizes are linked to the Byzantine span.
