The route of Konya Meram

Its altitude is 1016 m. It has an area of 1949 square kilometers. Meram district is located in the south and southwest of Konya. It is at the crossroads of five important roads: Ankara-Konya, Isparta-Konya, Antalya-Konya, Mersin-Konya and Adana-Konya. It is bordered to the north by Selçuklu, to the south by Çumra, Akören and Bozkır, to the west by Beyşehir and Seydişehir, and to the east by Karatay.

There is, of course, a parallel between the history of Konya, one of the meeting points of civilizations, and the history of Meram. The fact that Konya has been a center of settlement since ancient times and that the district of Meram is home to these settlements has led it to become a well-known and beloved place. The fact that an important place such as Çatalhöyük, which is considered to be one of the places where people came out of the cave and established the first settlement center and has a history of ten thousand years, is in Konya and the fact that the ancient city of Kilistra is located within the county boundaries also reveals the historical importance of Meram in general.

Meram, which has always had an exceptional place, has reached the present day under the identity of an Egyptian place, making a name for itself with its rare flower-like greenery that opens in the middle of the meadow, its gardens and its modern appearance.

The district, which has the honor of hosting many historical artifacts, also carries important artifacts from the ancient city of Kilistra into the future. In addition, a bridge over the Meram River built during the Seljuk period, the Hasbeyoğlu Mosque, the Hamam and Darülhuffaz, the Sheikh Sadreddin Konevi Mosque and Tomb, the Sırçalı Medrese, the Yplikçi Mosque, the Tavus Baba Tomb, the Ateşbaz Veli Tomb, the only tomb in the world made for a cook, the Girls' Rock, the Sahibi Ata Mosque and the Ash, the Archaeology Museum, the Ethnography Museum, the Sahib Ata Foundation Museum and the Atatürk House were the main places to visit.
