"Also known as a dergah, a tekke is a lodge for dervishes. Tekkes are a frequent occurrence in Turkish architecture and are usually part of a complex which includes a mosque and memorial tomb. They may be regarded as the counterpart of the more orthodox madrassa. A tekke often consists of a number of individual cells which are used as shelters for the dervishes.""Jalal al-Din al-Rumi, or Mevlana, was a mystic of the Sufi order who died in Konya in 1273. His tomb is a striking conical tower covered in turquoise tiles. It is incorporated into an Ottoman mosque complex, but the mausoleum itself dates from the Seljuk period."exterior, view along arched entrance portico of Selimiye Mosque with turquoise tiled dome of Mevlana Museum in the background, July 2010
