Our first stop is Mevlana/Rumi Museum; the Islamic philosopher, theologian, and poet Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi were born in 1207 in Khorassan. The meaning of Mevlana is “our master and president” and implies the love of people for him. After his death, they built a tomb in 1274 where the other dervishes are also buried. The Mausoleum consists of a library, madrasah, kitchen, graves, and rooms of dervishes.
Karatay Madrasa, was built by Emir Celaleddin Karatay in 1251 during the period of Sultan Keykavus II. The architect of the madrasa is unknown. Even the Ottomans continued to use the madrasa, but it was abandoned in 19C. Karatay Madrasa was converted into a museum in 1955 as the “Tile Artefacts Museum,” where one of the most beautiful Turkish tile pieces is on display.
Alaeddin Mosque is one of the most important and biggest mosques of the Seljuk Empire. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Rukneddin Mesud but completed during Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat I’s reign in 1221. Alaeddin Mosque is located on Alaeddin Hill
