Dimetoka, Ece Sultan Türbesi

Ece Sultan Tomb was located in Eceköy (Lepti) in Didymóteicho, 20 km south of Edirne. Ece Sultan, who was one of the pioneering veterans in the Turkification of Thrace, is the heroic man who gave his name to Çanakkale's Eceabat district. Evliyâ Çelebi gives the following information about Ece Sultan: "This saintly deceased lies on a slope, in a forest, in a beautiful dome of brick masonry without lead. This Ece Sultan is a descendant of the Prophet. There are no poor people in his enlightened tomb." In the 2000s, Ece Sultan's tomb was completely demolished. The debris from the demolition was set aside and a church named "Agios Georgios" was built on the hill where the tomb was located, even though there was no settlement. According to Christian belief, St. George has the ability to heal people. That is why some churches and hospitals are named after him. It is known that until recently, people from Edirne and the surrounding area visited the Tomb of Ece Sultan for their patients.
