(from http://www.hotelani.com/aboutkonya.asp)

Konya is one of the first centers of population in the history of humankind. and it owns the traces of many ancient civilizations. Because of these characteristics, Konya has the specialty of a "museum - city". Konya is also famous for the Islamic Elders lived here, besides its innumerable historical, cultural and natural values. During the old times, Konya took place on the most important and main roads. It used to be one of the most important trade and billeting centers of the Silk Road.

As the first construction built by Mustafa Paşa in 1676 was destructed by a big fire in 1867, this mosque that has remained till today was constructed through the contributions of Abdülaziz and his mother Pertevniyal Hatunun in 1872.
