This paper examines the emergence of invisible or inconspicuous religious spaces within the shifting religio-political landscape of early modern Anatolia. As the Ottoman state expanded in the eastern Mediterranean in the late medieval and early modern periods, it faced new administrative realities and tensions with various populations. In this context, the paper specifically focuses on the religious spaces of the Alevis, who have constituted a Twelver-Imamate Sufi group until today. Their belief Alevism was marginalized and often deemed as heresy in the Ottoman Empire. The early modern period saw a long series of conflicts between Alevi communities and the Ottoman state in central and eastern Anatolia. As one of the communities situated on the margins of emerging imperial norms, the Alevis frequently adopted discreet, temporary, or mobile ritual spaces. Such environments, shaped by political pressures and shifting categories of orthodoxy, often remained undocumented or deliberately obscured. This paper analyses Ottoman archival documents along with written family and material sources to demonstrate how Alevi religious spaces were (un)documented and/or obscured depending on the relationships between the Ottoman imperial state and local Alevi communities. The paper comparatively examines these historical sources to show the dynamic nature of the visibility and invisibility of Alevi religious spaces in early modern Anatolia.
