Mosque in Mevlana Museum/

Konya is the first capital of Turkey.

Mevlana museum is considered a national treasure of Turkey. Admission is free for all visitors regardless of citizenship.

Mevlana is a historical figure who is considered the main spiritual patron of the first Monarch of the Ottoman Empire. It is believed that the Turkish monarchy originated here. Therefore, the city is the heart of Turkey.

The museum has many inscriptions in Turkish in Arabic script. Which modern Turks don’t understand.

The grave of this holy man.

Mevlana founded an order (like the Crusaders), which included many noble people of Turkey.

Hazreti Mevlana (Holly Mevlana)/

The fact is that Mevlana himself was a Persian by nationality and was born in Iran. But most revered in Turkey.

I noticed that many of the photos in your post are not uploaded in the right orientation, can you try to fix them?
