Abstract
This study is focused on the remains of Islamic tombstones (nišani) which are currently located in the front yard of the Pirot Museum of Ponišavlje. Among other exhibits, the museum has 14 of these tombstones, or their remaining parts, with accompanying labels on display. They date back to the period of the Turkish rein, which lasted since 1385/86 to 1877, with short periods of break. In this study, the images of these tombstones have been provided, followed by their Arabic and Latin transcripts and appropriate translation into Serbian. Firstly, the study presents the texts from the tombstone labels, which, although mostly incomplete, still unravels some data and phrases useful for drawing conclusions about who some of the well-respected figures in Pirot in the 18th and 19th centuries were and what their tombstones looked like.
