Sille Mahallesi

Sille Mahallesi lies in the Sille Valley in Konya, Turkey, where a narrow settlement corridor runs through the dry uplands west of the city. For centuries, Muslim and Orthodox Christian communities lived side by side here; the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey brought the local Greek Orthodox presence to an end. Aya Eleni Church, restored in 1832, remains the clearest reminder of that inheritance. Stone houses, mosques and churches line the valley’s older quarters, giving Sille a markedly different scale from Konya’s broad plain and Seljuk monuments.
