Seljuk architecture
is the name given to architecture built during the time when the Seljuks ruled
most of the Middle East and Anatolia between (11th - 13th Centuries). After the
11th century the Seljuks of Rum emerged from the Great Seljuk Empire developing
their own architecture, though they were influenced and inspired by the Armenians,
Byzantines and Persians. Konya, the capital of the Seljuks and the other great
Seljuk cities--Alanya, Erzurum, Kayseri, Sivas—have important Seljuk buildings,
but Seljuk works are abundant in almost any Anatolian city or town, especially
in Central and Eastern Anatolia. Seljuk power extended (briefly) as far as the
Aegean coast, so there are Seljuk türbes (tombs) even in, appropriately—the
town of Selçuk, next to Ephesus, south of Izmir. Source
