History
Kral Kızı Mausoleum or Kral Kızı Turbe is a türbe dedicated to the Bosnian princess Catherine located in the city of Skopje, North Macedonia, near the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics of Ss. Cyril and Methodius University. The tomb was reconstructed in 2014 by the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia with financial contribution from the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Bosnia and Herzegovina, after having been destroyed in the 1963 earthquake. There has been a dilemma among scientists and the local population if it is a cult place or a personal cult which has got several tombs at different locations. The mausoleum of the king's daughter (princess) takes place among Islamic-Oriental sacral objects of Ottoman cultural provenience, also among Bosnian and more specifically Bosniak, and broadly spoken, of Macedonian cultural heritage in the Balkan Peninsula.
