Kanaat Baba Bektashi Dervish lodge, was located 1.5 km North of Alexandria Village. The dervish lodge, which was founded by Kanaat Baba in the 17th century and visited until the 1950s, was demolished after this date. According to the old survey drawn by Petrov-Margos, the dervish lodge, which has not survived, is understood to be a simple structure made of wooden logs with the overlapping technique, consisting of adjacent mausoleums and squares and a portico surrounding them. With this feature, it shows a great similarity with the Kızana Dervish lodge in Eski Cuma. The ruins of the dervish lodge, which is accepted by Christians as the tomb of Prophet Ilia, were repaired in 2009 and opened as the Alexandria Monastery.
