Overview

It is the center of Mevlevi philosophy, where visitors learn about love, tolerance, and peace inspired by Mevlana Rumi. The museum includes his tomb, dervish rooms, and sacred artifacts that reflect centuries of Sufi tradition. Unlike many other tours, it combines history with a strong emotional and spiritual atmosphere. This makes the Konya Mevlana tour unique and meaningful for visitors from all over the world.

St. Paul's Church, or St. Paul's Church, is a historic Roman Catholic church located in the Meram district of Konya. It is named after Paul, who visited Iconium (Konya) during his first missionary journey to Anatolia.
The church was built in 1910 by Assomptionistes priests who provided religious assistance and support to French technician families who had worked there for many years. Built in the Gothic style, it is the only church remaining in the city among many others. The others were destroyed or converted into mosques as the Christian community dwindled. -

When a family's life ended, the house was filled with earth and a new one was built on top. The continuous construction of new houses resulted in the formation of a mound that is now 21 meters high. Eighteen building layers have been unearthed on the mound. The building materials used were adobe, wood, and reeds. The roof covering is clay soil compressed over reeds. The houses are unique historical structures, and access to the house is via a ladder through a hole in the roof. Each house consists of one room and a storage area. The rooms contain rectangular hearths. The walls are plastered, painted white, and then decorated with paintings in shades of yellow, red, and black. It appears that original bull, ram, and deer heads were preserved in compressed clay and appliquéd to the walls.

The pulpit, made of ebony wood using the kündekâri technique by Mengü Berti of Ahlat in 1155, is a masterpiece of Anatolian Seljuk wood carving. In front of the mihrab, which is decorated with tiles, is a dome of the maksura, also decorated with tiles. The name of the master builder, Muhammed Bin Havlan el-Dımışkî, is inscribed on the main gate.
