Built on the site of Konya's former citadel, this park, right in the city center, is the place where Konya locals come to promenade in the evening and sip tea in the gardens.
At the foot of the incline up the hill, are the excavation site of Alaeddin Kaykobad's palace and the remains of the old city wall. On top of the hill is the Alaeddin Camii, built in the 13th century.
