HISTORY OF THE TÜRBE

Sari Saltik also referred as Sari Saltuk Baba or Dede was a 13th-century
semi-legendary Turkish dervish, venerated as a saint by the Bektashis in
the Balkans and parts of Middle East. He has made a lot of miracles and
one of them is this footprint. He had come to Kruja with a mission and
when he accomplished his purpose he left this footprint as the symbol
of what he did. In various legends he is identified with Christian saints
(Saint George, Elijah, Saint Nicholas, Saint Simeon, Saint Naum or Saint
Spyridon). According to a legend, his body was buried in seven coffins,
in remote towns in the lands of the Infidels. Nowadays, alleged tombs
(türbe) are found over the Balkans (Blagaj village of Mostar, Krujë,
Kaliakra) and western Anatolia (İznik).

IT’S NOT ALLOWED TO PUT THE FOOT INSIDE. ONLY THE HAND OR THE
HEAD.
