As part of the “Foundation Works Inventory Project” launched by Vakıf Katılım, the Konya Metropolitan Municipality opened the AYNA exhibition titled “Silk Lights of the Anatolian Sky,”featuring photographs and interactive displays of Konya’s foundation works.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay thanked the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for organizing the Turkey Culture Route Festival and stated that the Mystic Music Festival in Konya is being held as part of this festival.
Noting the opening of another important event in Konya, Mayor Altay said, “Hopefully, there will be many significant events in Konya until September 30. Today, at Depo No:4, we inaugurated an exhibition with Vakıf Katılım that showcases our thousand-year-old foundation culture, together with our protocol members. Depo No:4 has already hosted many important exhibitions following its restoration.”
The exhibition features foundation works from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods to the present day, including complexes, mosques, madrasas, inns, baths, tombs, and fountains, as well as highly valuable historical and artistic pieces such as tiles, wood carvings, calligraphy, and stonework that adorn these structures.
