Özet:

Sultan Selim Mosque, which is located on the west side of the Mevlana Külliyesi (Mevlana Islamic-Ottoman Social Complex), is one of the most important works of Ottoman architecture in Konya. The information known about the mosque is limited. However, it was known that the mosque was last extensively repaired in 1914 by the architect, Muzaffer Bey, and the engineer, Sıtkı Bey, and that the present painted decoration was designed by the former. Except for minor repairs, the mosque waited approximately one hundred years until it was again renovated in 2012. The painted decoration was also included in the 2012 project. Scraping revealed that there were some Armenian and Ottoman Turkish writings in the decorations on the surface of the main dome. These texts were the signatures of the Armenian painters who repaired the painted decorations in 1914, and they show that the group of six who restored the painted decoration came from different cities such as Bursa, Kayseri, Sivas and completed their works in January, 1916.
