Also, this magnificent structure includes many sections such as outdoors, Dervish Cells, Kitchen, Yard, Mosque, Library, Chant Room, Water-tank with a fountain, Semahane and Çerag Door.
At the beginning, this splendid complex was a rose garden surrogated a dervish lodge which was given as a present to Sultânül-Ulemâ Bâhaeddin, the father of Mevlana, by Sultan Aladdin Keykubat in the Seljuk Period.
Afterwards, there was added the mausoleum primarily including the graves of Mevlana’s father, Mevlana and his other family members here.
Built by great architect Bedrettin Tebrizi, the tomb was furnished with the fascinating green tiles which is the main reason why it was named as ‘’Green’’..
