The Mausoleum of Danyal (Danyal Makamı) is a small complex in Tarsus, Mersin Province, located on Adana Boulevard in the Şehitkerim neighbourhood. It consists of a mosque and a tomb. The tomb is believed to hold the remains of the prophet Daniel, a figure known from the Bible and from Islamic tradition, although there is no scientific evidence for this. A better-known shrine attributed to the same prophet stands in Iran, and Muslims have more commonly held that Daniel is buried there. The site in Tarsus is considerably less famous.
