Ali Baba was the brother-in-law of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and a high ranking nobleman but when his sister, Mahidevran who was one of the sultan’s wives fell into disfavor and expelled from the palace, Ali Baba was banished to Kalkandelen (present-day Tetovo) where he built a place for worship known as Arabati Baba Tekḱe in 1538. This 480 years old tekḱe became the finest surviving Bektashi monastery in Europe with sprawling complex featuring flower gardens, prayer rooms, dining halls, lodgings and a great marble fountain inside a wooden pavilion.
