Konya, Ancient urban settlement in central Turkey.
Located at 1019 meters above sea level, the metropolis contains numerous religious buildings, museums, and a central marketplace connected by wide boulevards.
The city existed as Iconium during Roman times and later became the capital of the Seljuk Empire between the 11th and 13th centuries.
The Mevlana Museum houses texts and artifacts from the Sufi spiritual movement, displaying traditional calligraphy and historical manuscripts from Persian literature.
The public transportation network includes trams and buses that connect the central district to residential neighborhoods, museums, and shopping centers.
