Somuncu Baba, whose real name is Sheikh Hamid-i Veli, was a prominent Turkish Sufi who lived in the 14th century. As one of the spiritual architects of Anatolia, he lived among the people and based his teachings on humility, patience, and generosity. Known as the mentor of Hacı Bayram-ı Veli, he became beloved among the people, especially through his practice of baking and distributing bread.
Darende, a distinguished district of Malatya, stands out with its historical and natural beauty. It captivates visitors with attractions such as Tohma Canyon, Kudret Pool, and historical madrasas. Darende is also home to the tomb of Somuncu Baba.
