Zawiyas are places where dervishes belonging to a tariqa live together under the care of a sheikh. Often, they are built far from large urban settlements in rural areas using only their own abilities and possessions. Sheikh Mas'ud Khorasani Zâwiya is located on the southern skirts of Top Mountain, to the south of the inner city of Urfa. There are also cave settlements and cisterns in the vicinity. The origin of the Sheikh Mas'ud Khorasani Zâwiya, which has no building marker or builder epitaph, has been dated to between the end of the 12th century and the last quarter of the 14th century. The facility consists of a central courtyard with an architectural square plan with rooms around the courtyard from the grave room to the tomb. The courtyard is half-covered with a dome. Sheikh Mas'ud Khorasani Zâwiya has become a pilgrimage site now, due to the presence of the grave and tomb of Sheikh Mas'ud and the recent increase in the number of settlements around it. This research is an architectural and historical examination of the Sheikh Mas'ud Khorasani Zâwiya.
