EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of Konya, Turkey, showcasing the Ince Minaret Medrese Museum in all its glory. The intricate 13th-century school, built by the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate Vizier, is a true masterpiece with its highly ornamented stone facade adorned with relief work of scripts, geometric patterning, and ribbon-like lines.
Restored in 1956 and now used as a museum, this historical site is a testament to Konya's rich past dating back to 3000 BC. From the Hittites to Alexander the Great to Byzantine rulers and beyond, Konya has seen it all. It was even visited by St Paul and Barnabas according to the Acts of the Apostles.
The town reached its height during the Seljuk Turk rule in the 12th century before eventually becoming known for being very conservative. But perhaps what truly sets Konya apart is its association with renowned figures like Jelal al-Din Rumi (Mevlana) and Ibn Arabi - both influential Sufi mystics who left their mark on this ancient city.
As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported back in time to a place where history comes alive through intricate architecture and storied pasts waiting to be discovered.
