I spent a month and a half in Konya in June/July 2014. Wonderful city. However, with historical sites there aren't as many, just the area around the Bazaar, Mevlana tomb, and Alaeddin. Not a bad thing, because in other ways its like a normal city - shops, malls, restaurants, etc. But with eklekmek! It is also an excellent location for day-trips, such as Kappadokya, Beysehir, and Catalhoyuk. Its very modern, but also a reminder that there was an Anatolia that predated the Ottomans, with a rich ancient and medieval history on full display in Konya and the surrounding area.

We were there 1988 with a Sufi master and the tumata healing music. Came from Urfa, Abrahams birth place. What a country it was then. So friendly and open.

I only see ignorance in this city. Konya is one of the most ignorant cities in Turkey. If Mevlana saw this probably would be so disappointed.
