The core structure of Mevlana Dervish Lodge is the shrine of Mevlana. The shrine was built in 1274. Although it is mentioned in the literature that a lodge was built next to the shrine of Mevlana immediately after his death, it could not survive to the present day. Other structures of the dervish lodge are the Semahane, where Sema rites are being performed, masjid, dedegan cells, kitchen and shad-irvan (water-tank with a fountain), which was built in the 16th century. After the death of Mevlana, Çelebi Husameddin, his close friend and personal assistant, became a sheikh for the people who loved Mevlana.

Since 1955, the place serves as a museum where Seljuk tiles are united, while artifacts in stone or in wood are on display in Ince Minaret Madrasa, also in Konya. The collection of Karatay Museum was particularly enriched by the finds collected as of the 1970s in Kubadabad Palace royal summer residence on Lake Beyşehir shore, at eighty miles from Konya to the west.

It was built between the years of 1258-1279 by Sahip Ata Fahreddin Ali, the vizier of the Seljuk Sultan Izzeddin Keykavus, for hadith studies. The architect of the building is Abdullah Bin Keluk. The madrasah belongs to the group of madrasas with closed courtyards of the Seljuk period. It has a single iwan. The crown gate to the east is one of the best examples of Seljuk period stone workmanship. The crown gate is decorated with verses from Surah Al-Fath and Surah Yasin and floral and geometric motifs.
