Konya also known as city of Rumi: Truly one of the most spiritual places in the world

Konya is the largest province and 7th largest city in all of Turkey with a population of over 2 million. It was a historic silk road city as traders made their way through Central Anatolia. It was the capital city for the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum and the Karamanids in medieval Anatolia, and you feel this stately atmosphere pervading the whole city when you walk through it.
