Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that while they work to preserve the historical values in Konya, which has a history of thousands of years, they also prioritize passing on and keeping these values alive for the future.
Mayor Altay emphasized that Konya holds the distinction of being one of the most significant cities in Turkish-Islamic history, serving as the capital of the Seljuk State for 200 years. He stated, "To preserve our ancient heritage in the city and pass it on to future generations, we have implemented the Darü'l-Mülk Project, which is Turkey's largest revival project. As part of the Darü'l-Mülk Project, we are carrying out urban renewal and restoration works in 20 different locations in the historical city center. The Darü'l-Mülk Exhibition Palace, which we have brought to life at Kılıçarslan Square, holds a crucial place within this revival project."
Mayor Altay highlighted that the Darü'l-Mülk Exhibition Palace is an important monument for Konya's historical and cultural life. He mentioned that inside the palace, there is an exhibition showcasing the period battles of the Turkish Seljuk State in Anatolia, depicted through oil paintings created by artists.
