Beautiful carving made of ebony

An impressive mosque next to the Mevlana Museum, featuring a large carpet as a door and a beautiful dome. Construction began in 1558 during Sultan Selim's tenure as governor of Konya and was completed in 1567. It is one of the finest examples of classical Ottoman architecture in Konya. Its floor plan is similar to the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. The central domed space is extended on one side by a semi-dome. The mosque's interior, with its seven-domed narthex and two minarets, is adorned with hand-painted ornaments.

Old cemetery with beautiful graves

The ebony pulpit (minbar) is dated to 1155 and is perhaps the only remaining part of the original building's furnishings. The original mihrab niche was decorated with faience tiles in various shades (turquoise and cobalt blue, manganese violet). During the renovations of 1891, a niche of white marble was added in front of it, so that only the upper half of the niche and the triangular sections of the faience mosaic at the transition to the dome retain their original mosaic decoration. According to Aslanapa, the style and technique of these mosaics are comparatively advanced, suggesting they date to the construction period under Kai Kobad I. Source: Wikipedia
