In the tomb, which consists of a hall and two separate rooms, the large room contains a masjid with a mihrab, and the room on the other side contains a chat room and a guest house.

It is a very beautiful spot overlooking the plain where the foundations of the Ottoman Empire were laid. At the entrance to the tomb, there is a plate containing the advice given by Ertuğrul Gazi to Osman Gazi. A place of spiritual peace
