KONYA
The
home of the Whirling Dervishes also has
the largest concentration of Seljuk
architecture in Turkey, having been the
capital city for the Seljuk’s for 200
years. The most frequently visited site
here is the Mevlana Turbesi, (the Tomb of
Mevlana Celaleddin). Konya is also an
important place for Christians as well
because St. Paul and St. Barnabas came to
the city on one of their journeys in Asia
Minor around 50 AD. St. Paul preached in
Konya but they angered both Jews and
Gentiles so they had to leave the city and
went to Derbe and Lystra.
