The History of Konya Hosted 450 thousand People

Sahib Ata Foundation Bath, which is located in Ilgın district of Konya and dates back to the Roman period, hosted a total of 450 thousand people in 2022.

The historical bath, which was built by Sahib Ata Fahrettin Ali, one of the important statesmen during the reign of the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat, in 1236 as the first Turkish Bath with a pool, still exists.

Speaking on the subject, Ilgın Mayor Yalçın Ertaş said, "The water coming out of the foothills of the mountain is given to the pools without the need for any intervention. Hot spring water is also drinkable due to its colorless and odorless nature. Our spa, which increases its domestic and foreign tourist capacity day by day, hosted approximately 450 thousand people in 2022. I hope that we will continue to serve many more citizens with our hotel project that we will implement this year. We are waiting for all our citizens in our country, all spa lovers to our city, Ilgın, to discover this beautiful and healing water store."
