Walking around inside the Alaaddin Mosque, the light colours of the mosque were contrasted nicely by this Quran, which was placed on a colourful Turkish rug.

The Alaeddin Mosque is a prominent landmark dating back to the 12th century, located in one of Turkey’s more conservative cities – Konya. It is one of the main attractions in the city, found at the central Tepesi (hill) called Alaaddin Tepesi.

It was once an important building for the Selcuk Sultans of Rum, eight of whom are buried at the mosque.
