Alâeddin Mosque is the principal monument on the citadel of Konya Turkey. The building served as the “Mosque of the Throne” for the Seljuq Sultans of Rum and contains the dynastic mausoleum. It was constructed in stages between the mid-12th and mid-13th centuries. Both the citadel and the mosque bear the name of sultan ‘Ala al-Din Kayqubad I (Alâeddin Tepesi and Alâeddin Camii).
