Historical Walk in Karatay

This walking route in the Karatay district offers an ideal option for those wanting to explore the historical texture of Konya. Starting from Alaaddin Hill, you will reach the Karatay Madrasa shortly after. Built in 1251 and now serving as a museum for ceramic works, this structure is one of the finest examples of Seljuk architecture. After visiting the madrasa, head towards Sultan Selim Mosque. Built in the 16th century during the Ottoman period, this mosque stands out with its magnificent structure. As you continue your walk, stop by the historical Bedesten Bazaar to purchase handmade products and souvenirs. The final stop on the route, the Ince Minaret Madrasa, reveals the elegant details of Seljuk architecture. Allow plenty of time for photography at all these stops, and try not to miss the sunset at Alaaddin Hill.
