Supported by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the project is being carried out in cooperation with Konya Metropolitan Municipality and Karatay Municipality.
Karatay Arasta was completed during the first phase. The second phase includes the reconstruction of six registered historic buildings in the Aziziye neighbourhood in accordance with their original architectural characteristics.
The project aims not only to improve the physical appearance of the area, but also to revive its traditional streetscape and historic urban culture.
The Mevlana Museum welcomes large numbers of visitors from Türkiye and around the world every year. Protecting the buildings around it will allow visitors to experience Konya’s Mevlevi heritage within a more complete and historically meaningful setting.
