To the west of Yamanlar there is reported to be the tomb of an anonymous ' (saint) which is visited by those seeking relief from mental illness, epilepsy, and malaria. According to local legend, a man was collecting stones in the area, when a head appeared. He took the head and placed it in water. Later, in a dream the head told him, "Take me out of here or I will harm you." Then a grave was raised for the head, which became a pilgrimage site. In 1972, the grave was enclosed with stone and made into a tomb.
