• Bring a torch for interior cracks of light - small mausolea often have limited interior illumination.
• Look for mortar repairs and different stone colors - they indicate repairs done during Ottoman or modern periods.
• If photographing the dome, use a short focal length to capture the full interior from the threshold.
