Due to its natural ambience and its historical importance, it is known worldwide as “Tekija at the source of the Buna river” or the Tekija in Blagaj.
The first written records refer to it as Sari Salutk’s burial site. According to tradition Sari Saltuk, one of the famous personas of the Ottoman empire known for many legends, was burried in it.

He lived in the end of the 13th century, and according to the legend he left a will with a wish to take different coffins to different non-muslim countries, so that no one could know where his body actually is.

The turbe of Sari Saltuk in Blagaj, probably owing to a vivid natural surrounding, is one of the places most often visited by the followers of Sufism or Tasawwuf teachings in Islam.

    Blagaj tekija

    The Tekke(khanqah, dervish house), set at the source of the river Buna, was and still is a venue for dervish Zikr praise-chanting three nights weekly. Built at the site of an earlier Bogomil sanctuary, it is a place of which history has no precise and stored data. Archeological excavations have found and confirmed that this location holds the remains of a Late Antique structure. During the Middle Ages, even before the arrival of the Ottomans, it was a place of utter cultural and religious importance (1. VI 1454.). The first written track of the Tekke was made by Evlija Celebija in 1664. in his travelogues, at time when the Tekke was already well-known throughout the Ottoman empire and within the scientific community.
