Seyyid Hasan Gazi, Hz. The descendants of our Prophet (saas) are the brother of Hussein Gazi, the uncle and father-in-law of Sayyid Battal Ghazi. He was martyred in the siege of the Zengibar castle during the Abbasids period. (Miladi 830) Hasan Gazi's Tomb has been restored and restored by the Hulusi Efendi Foundation in the name of our saint martyrs, while the ancestor has been abandoned to be destroyed. On the north side of the shrine building, the martyrdom monument was built on behalf of our Darendeli martyrs. The names of many of our martyrs who were martyred in World War II, in the War of Independence, in the Ottoman-Russian War, in Korea, in internal rebellions, in Trablusgarb and in the struggle for terrorism were printed on marble plates and hanged in the martyrdom monument and their names immortalized.

It lies between the Somuncu Baba Mosque and Taş Bridge in the Darende district. The two slopes of the Tohma Stream are composed of the steep crags and ragged valley. Over the crags there are natural hollows and cave-like parts. Water is brought to the Somuncu Baba Mosque by a canal made out of carving the rocks over the slopes. Rafting, trekking, photo-safari and climbing are popular activities in this canyon. The 8 km long canyon is a moderately tough but comfortable track for rafting which takes about one hour.

The "Kudret Havuzu", which is owned by Hulusi Efendi Foundation and used as an open-air swimming pool fed by a natural source of water with a temperature of 22 degrees in four seasons coming from rocks in Tohma Canyon, has been transformed into a modern swimming pool complex. Inside the valley, taking place among the rugged cliffs increases the attractiveness of the pool. One of the indispensable places of summer months, the Power Pool is a place not to be found in Darende for those who want to cool off. Dressing rooms and shower areas were made considering the needs and comfort of the citizens coming to the pool.
