And here's composer Alfred Schnittke's: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Sc...
Mimar Sinan, the preeminent architect of peak Ottoman Empire, is buried in a tomb of his own design.
Sinan died in AH 996 (1587-88 CE) and is buried in a tomb in Istanbul, a türbe of his own design, just to the north of the Süleymaniye Mosque, across a street named Mimar Sinan Caddesi in his honour. He was buried near the tombs of his greatest patrons: Sultan Süleyman I and Sultana Haseki Hürrem, Suleiman's wife. Above the iron-grilled prayer window of his tomb is an epitaph written in Ottoman Turkish by the poet Mustafa Sai. It gives the year of his death and records that Sinan built 400 masjids (small mosques), 80 Friday mosques and the Kanuni Sultan Suleiman bridge at Büyükçekmece.
The audacity of some people!
