Ince Minaret Museum of Stone and Wood Art

The Ince Minaret Madrasah, a prime example of Seljuk architecture, was transformed into the "Museum of Stone and Wood Arts" and opened to visitors. Built between 1258 and 1279 by Vizier Sahib Ata Fahreddin Ali during the reign of Seljuk Sultan Izzeddin Keykavus II, its architect was Keluk b. Abdullah.

The museum, first opened in 1956, continues to showcase stone and wooden works from the Beylik, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. Among the artifacts on display are inscriptions in stone and marble, carved using the technique of relief, from the Seljuk and Karamanoğlu eras. Additionally, high-relief carvings from Konya Castle, intricately carved door and window panels with geometric and floral designs, wooden ceiling rosettes, as well as marble tombstones and chests, are featured.

Notably, the museum exhibits some of the finest examples of the double-headed eagle and winged angel figures, symbols of the Seljuks, whose capital was Konya.
