Description

Ince minaret Medrese / Konya-Turkey
El-Mulk-u-Lillah/ that's what it write between the most of the things from Koran, means "Owned by God"
.....
Built between 1258-1279 by the Anatolian Selchkian Sultanate vizier Sâhib Ata Fahreddin Ali who later founded the Anatolian beylik of Sâhib Ata. (Keluk bin Abdullah is the architect) The minaret was originally much taller than the section that survives today, and had an unusually slender appearance in comparison to the minarets of other contemporary Selchuk mosques, hence the name of the structure.
The building has a highly ornamented stone façade which includes relief work of scripts, geometric patterning and vertical ribbon-like lines

Restored in 1956, the minaret was damaged by lightning in 1901, the edifice is used today as a museum where stone and wooden artefacts dating from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods are displayed. / By Wikipedia...
