The War of Independence memorial in Konya was built between the Mevlana Museum and the Mevlana Culture Centre, adjoining the Ucler cemetery, so it sits on the route most visitors to Konya already take.
It is arranged as a composition telling a sequence: the Gallipoli front, the state of Konya after 1915, the preparations for the War of Independence, the war itself, and the life of Konya and its villages after the war was won.
