Sille Agia Eleni Church

Located in the Sille Neighborhood of Konya, the Agia Eleni Church was built in 327 AD by Helena, the mother of Byzantine Emperor Constantine. The church, one of the oldest Christian places of worship in Anatolia, was restored and preserved during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The frescoes and religious motifs of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and the apostles attract attention in the interior. The church, which can be visited as a museum today, is an important stop for those who want to discover different cultural heritages in Konya.

Karatay Tile and Ceramics Museum

For those who want to see works of art from Konya's Seljuk period, the Karatay Tile and Ceramics Museum attracts attention with its impressive collection. The Karatay Madrasah, built in 1251 by the Seljuk Vizier Celaleddin Karatay, has been transformed into a museum that exhibits the most beautiful examples of Seljuk tile art today. Seljuk tiles, glass objects, ceramics and mosaics in blue and turquoise tones are among the most valuable pieces of the museum. It is a unique cultural stop for those who want to discover the elegance of Seljuk art.

Aziziye Mosque

One of the most striking Ottoman mosques in Konya, the Aziziye Mosque was built in 1676 and renovated in the 19th century in baroque and rococo styles. The mosque, which blends different architectural styles, is one of the rare examples of Ottoman baroque architecture, especially with its high and thin minarets, large arched windows and ornate interior design. Unlike the classical Seljuk mosques in Konya, it stands out with its ornate details.
