Konya was the Seljuk capital during the 12th and 13th centuries.

It is a prime location to find Seljuk architecture in its public buildings. The Alâeddin Mosque is the principal monument on the citadel of Konya. The building served as the "Mosque of the Throne" for the Seljuk Sultans and contains the dynastic mausoleum. The town has several other notable mosques and madrasas.
