My first (and possibly last) visit to Konya, my first stop was the Mevlana Museum. Housing the Mausoleum (with tombs of Rumi and the Mevlevi order), a mosque, dervish living quarters (arranged around the edges of the complex much like a Japanese castle or monastery), and dance hall, the museum was truly impressive.
Unfortunately, the weather in Konya was rather too cold for me, and although my jacket-less companion kept proclaiming, "It's NOT cold!!!", the thick coats of all the other pilgrims and the frost coating the grass confirmed my right to complain. My fingers freezing, I couldn't concentrate on taking photos and so you, beloved reader, must suffice with what is here, or visit
Mevlana Net.
