Mevlana Museum is a Seljuk era Islamic complex that houses a mausoleum, tekke and mosque located in Konya, Turkey. It was built in 1274 AD under the supervision of Architect Badr al-Din Tabrizi and funded by Gürcü Hatun, the wife of the Seljuk Emir Suleyman Pervane, and by Emir Alameddin Kayser. The complex was expanded and several sections were added during the Ottoman period.
