Mevlana, famous throughout the world with the phrase "Come, come, whoever you are, come." On the northwest side are the dervish cells inside the museum, the matbah located to the south and the Hürrem Pasha Tomb, after the Hâmûsân (Silent Ones) gate opening to the Three Tombs Cemetery, and on the east side of the courtyard we tour the main building, which includes the semahane and prayer hall sections, as well as the tombs of Mevlana and his family members, and then we view the Sultan Selim Mosque panoramically. We visit the Three Tombs and Monument of Martyrs located right across from the Mevlana Museum. We give time for lunch to taste our Konya's local flavors. After lunch, we continue our Konya tour.
