Selimiye Mosque
Selimiye Camii
A 16th-century Ottoman mosque right next to the Mevlana Museum, modelled on the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul
Selimiye Mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II while he was governor of Konya. Completed in the mid-to-late 16th century, it is a classic Ottoman design, with a large central dome and two minarets. Together with the green cone-topped roof of the Mevlana Museum beside it, it forms the classic postcard view of Konya. The interior is spacious and bright. Entry is free and it is open outside prayer times. Women must cover their heads.
