Seljuk Tower, Modern skyscraper in Konya, Turkey.
The Seljuk Tower is a modern skyscraper in Konya with 42 floors and a height of 163 meters. It stands as the tallest structure in Central Anatolia and dominates the city skyline from above.
The project was conceived in early 2002 and construction began shortly after in 2003. It was completed in 2006, becoming a new landmark for the city.
The tower's name references the Seljuk Empire, which shaped Konya during the medieval period. This connection shows how the city honors its historical roots through modern architecture.
The top portion of the building houses a restaurant with a rotating dining area that completes a full rotation every hour, offering panoramic views of the city. The best time to visit is during peak hours when the dining space provides the most comprehensive perspective.
The building has 42 floors, a number that matches the official license plate code assigned to Konya province. This connection links the structure subtly to local identity and the region's administrative history.
