Khadiga Hanim Brengi

Description (The direction towards Mecca (Qibla) is described as eastern and other directions are named accordingly)

A rectangular enclosure with the north-western corner cut at the 45 degrees angle and with a later small building adjoining to the west incorporated. The entrance façade faces north. There are tracts of rooms by the northern and western walls, around a courtyard in the southern part of which stands a canopy covered with a dome resting on four semi-circular arches supported on marble columns. The openings of the arches are walled up at present, and the structure is used as a residential room.
The northern façade is built of ashlar masonry and plain, topped with a simple cornice, with a simple undecorated gate covered with a semi-circular arch. The gateway leads to the courtyard. Over the gate is a marble calligraphic inscription panel recording the renovation in AH 1277 [= AD 1861] of the funerary enclosure of Lady Khadiga Khanum Brengi Qadim (see point 17). The undecorated rectangular windows are irregularly placed in the entrance façade. The rooms around the courtyard are nondescript, built of rubble stone and bricks, with undecorated facades pierced with plain rectangular windows with louvre shutters. At a certain point there was probably an upper storey over a part of the building, as there is a staircase in the north-eastern corner of the enclosure. There are thirteen tomb markers in the courtyard, some with elaborate calligraphic inscriptions in their shahid stelae. Many are recent, as young as 2017, with many modern inscription plaques added to apparently earlier tomb markers.
In one of the rooms by the eastern perimeter wall stands a decorated marble cenotaph dated to AH 1348 / AD 1929. In the room are stored marble pieces from other cenotaphs, including shahid stelae, one of a woman called Kalrab married to a man called Gentemkan (definitely not Arabic names), dated to AH 1282 (?) [= AD 1865], another dated 27 Muharram 1287 [= 28 April AD 1870]. A plaque on the courtyard wall next to the door to the chamber commemorates the artist (presumably an actor) Muhammad Hasan Tawfiq who died in AH 1424 / AD 2003.
An annexe adjoins the enclosure to the west, with entrances from the street, where it continues the southern façade, and from the courtyard. The very simple structure has been recently covered with a simple roof of corrugated steel sheets on steel beams, with a roof lantern. In the room stands a richly carved marble cenotaph of Muhammad Bey Ibrahim, dated 4 Muharram 1326 AH [= 6 February AD 1908]. On the northern wall is mounted a richly carved marble side panel from another cenotaph, while on the eastern wall are twelve randomly placed commemorative marble plaques for people who died in the late 20th – early 21st centuries, the most recent of 2021.
On the external wall of the annexe are two modern marble plaques commemorating a Mustafa Basha, or Mustafa Bey Munir, a high-ranking officer in service of Ibrahim Pasha
