Konya is a city in Central Anatolia in Turkey which was originally known as Iconium. Konya was the capital of Seljuks between 1071 and 1308.

Rugs have been woven in Konya and the surrounding area from that time until the present day. Eighteenth and nineteenth century rugs are of earth tones: brown, green and mustard. Konya kilims are generally slit tapestry woven. Sometimes a soumak structure is used to outline the design.
