Konya Karaaslan Mausoleum 3957.jpg

The tomb and mosque are in Konya's Inner Karaaslan District. While the tomb was in a dead end, its surroundings were opened and the tomb was unearthed. Inside the tomb, there is a single sarcophagus decorated with Seljuk tiles. Most of the tiles have fallen over time.
According to what is learned from the inscription of his tomb, the person lying here is Karaaslan, son of Ibrahim, who bears the title of Necmeddin, the pillar of the religion.
