Alâeddin Hill and Kılıçarslan Pavilion

Alâeddin Hill is one of the oldest settlements in Konya, with a history stretching from the Phrygians to the Ottomans. The hill houses remnants from the Roman and Byzantine eras, as well as the ruins of the Kılıçarslan Pavilion, which is believed to have been constructed by Sultan Kılıçarslan II. During the Seljuk period, Alâeddin Hill was a significant center, bearing the traces of the inner castle walls from that era. The remains on the hill showcase exquisite examples of Seljuk architecture. Over time, this area also attracted the attention of the Ottoman Empire, standing out with its historical and cultural richness.
