Konya Metropolitan Municipality Konya Panorama Museum and Independence War Martyrs Monument hosted hundreds of thousands of visitors last year as well.
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that Konya, with its 10,000 years of history, is one of the leading cities in the fields of culture and tourism.
Inside the Konya Panorama Museum, there is a museum area depicting the life of Mevlana (Rumi), some symbolic moments from his life, and a recreated exhibition space representing the Konya of the 1200s. The interior courtyard also features models of 25 Mevlevi lodges from around the world.
In the Monument to the Martyrs of the War of Independence, commissioned by the Konya Metropolitan Municipality in memory of the martyrs of the War of Independence, there is an inner courtyard containing the names of martyrs from the War of Independence, as well as those from World War I, the Korean War, and the Cyprus Peace Operation. Additionally, there is a museum depicting the social structure of Konya during that period and a pathway with a pool displaying the flags of 16 Turkish states throughout history.
