Horozluhan Mahallesi: Konya Science Center - Ankara Caddesi

The terrain around Horozluhan Mahallesi is a broad, semi-arid stretch of the Konya Plain, which has shaped both the district’s low-rise layout and its role in the local economy. This northern part of metropolitan Konya is defined largely by workshops, wholesale trade and transport connections rather than the city’s historic centre. Konya was a major Seljuk capital in Anatolia, and the Mevlana Museum in the centre remains its foremost cultural landmark, associated with Jalal al-Din Rumi. Horozluhan Mahallesi provides an urban counterpoint to the monuments, markets and religious heritage closer to the centre.

The broad Konya Plain defines much of Konya — its dry continental climate has long supported grain farming and lends central Anatolia an expansive, open character. Konya city was the capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum in the 12th and 13th centuries, and its surviving Seljuk monuments remain central to its identity. The Mevlana Museum, built around the tomb of the poet and mystic Jalal al-Din Rumi, is an important place of pilgrimage and a focus of the Mevlevi tradition, known for the sema ceremony. Beyond the city, the province reaches toward Lake Tuz, one of Turkey’s largest saline lakes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Konya.
