Top 10 attractions in Konya
Mevlana Museum
Mevlana Museumis located in Konya, Türkiye, and is the final resting place of the 13th-century Persian Sufi poet Rumi. "Mevlana" means "our master," a title of respect given to him by the world, from which the museum takes its name. The site was originally a rose garden gifted by the Seljuk Sultan. After Rumi was buried here in 1273, a conical dome covered in turquoise tiles was built over his tomb. The dervish lodge, recitation hall, and mausoleum were gradually expanded, becoming the spiritual center for the Whirling Dervishes, and the entire complex was converted into a museum in the 1920s.Konya · 2 km from downtown
Alaaddin Hill Park
Alaaddin Hill Park is an urban green space in the heart of Konya, blending Seljuk historical relics with public recreational uses. The park, nestled on a man-made hill dating back to the Seljuk period, boasts the 13th-century Alaaddin Mosque, a building constructed with characteristic Seljuk stonework and arches, retaining original inscriptions and decorative elements. Around the hill lie the archaeological remains of a Seljuk palace, with some foundations and waterworks still visible. The park's vegetation is primarily native, drought-tolerant plants, interspersed with pine and cypress trees, creating a sparsely shaded walkway. Serving as a city viewing platform, the park's vantage point offers panoramic views of Konya and the distant dome of the Mevlana Museum. Locals often take morning walks and socialize here, showcasing the seamless integration of historical space and modern urban life.Konya · 1 km from downtown

Everything was amazing...
I was impressed that the Quran from around the 4th century was well preserved and exhibited.
There didn't seem to be any particular dress code, but you do need to wear shoe covers, which are distributed at the entrance before entering. There are people praying inside, so it's best to stay quiet and wear clothes that expose as little as possible.

Just a small earthen mound, a small park in the middle of the street, and you can't see any city view.

Although it is an old mosque, it is still a place of prayer for locals.
