-MEVLANA MUSEUM 

The Mevlana Museum, located in Konya and housed in a building complex formerly home to Rumi, has been operating since 1926. It is also known as the "Mevlana Tomb."

The Green Dome, or Mevlana's tomb, is built on four thick columns (elephant feet). Since then, the structure has been expanded with various additions at various dates. The fact that some Ottoman sultans were members of the Mevlevi order has ensured that the tomb has received special attention and been well preserved.
