EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print of a map of Konya Province in Turkey is not just a geographical representation, but a visual journey through centuries of history and cultural significance. Dating back to 3000 BC, Konya has been influenced by various civilizations such as the Hittites, Phrygians, Cimmerians, and more.
Under the rule of Alexander the Great and later the Seljuk Turks, Konya flourished as an important town visited by St Paul and Barnabas according to biblical accounts. However, during the Byzantine period, it faced destruction at the hands of Arab invaders multiple times.
The highlight of this map is undoubtedly the tomb of Jelal al-Din Rumi, also known as Mevlana - a Persian Sufi poet whose teachings continue to inspire millions around the world. Ibn Arabi, another renowned Sufi mystic who visited Konya in 1207 adds another layer to its spiritual significance.
With its rich history and conservative values still intact today, Konya remains a place where ancient traditions meet modern influences seamlessly. This print serves as a reminder of how one city can encapsulate so much culture and heritage within its boundaries.
