Alâeddin Mosque, Seljuk mosque on Alaaddin Hill, Konya, Turkey

The mosque extends in an east-west direction with marble columns and multiple domes across its rectangular layout near the city center.

Sultan Mesud I initiated construction in 1155, and subsequent rulers expanded it until completion under Sultan Alaaddin Keykubad I in 1221.

The mosque courtyard houses two monumental mausolea containing the sarcophagi of eight Seljuk Sultans who ruled the region in medieval times.

The structure underwent extensive repairs since 1958 due to wall cracks, and visitors should verify opening hours before planning their visit.

The ebony minbar from 1155 represents the earliest dated example of Seljuk architectural art found in Anatolia.
