About Konya - presentation, information, photos and recommendations

Konya is the city and was the dervish - Muslim monks - for 800 years. Located about three hours south of Ankara, Konya is a very old city, with roots in the times of the Hittites. Over the centuries XII and XIII Konya was the capital of Seljuk Turks and advanced rapidly to the rank of a cultural center.

Today Konya is the most religiously conservative city in Turkey, but also a place in which they stand contrary aspects. Given the approximately 50,000 students from Konya, there are acts of rebellion - but apart from a very high alcohol consumption, "rebellion" is to young skirts slit up to her knees and a little red lipstick.

The most famous place in Konya is the mausoleum of Jamal ad-Din Rumi, known as Mevlana, a place of pilgrimage for Christians. He founded the Sufi order of whirling dervish, who was banned in late 1920. Today, in place occasionally shows for tourists. It seems that the citadel of Konya city center has been inhabited since the Bronze Age Anatolian (3500 - 3000 BC), Icare receive Phrygians were founded as a settlement in these parts - in those days the city was called Iconium and was among the first cities adopted Christianity.
