In order to complete this triangle of historical cities, we must go to that city steeped in its mysticism and the forty rules of divine love, the city of Mawlana “Jalal al-Din al-Rumi” Konya or Konya, where the last month of the year coincides with celebrations that are manifested for the devotees at this time of the year, and in this city Heavens of serenity and supplication, touching the realities of the soul and the innermost parts of the soul, and the abundance of knowledge that can descend upon you if you are still walking in the footsteps of the pious, the pure dervishes.

Perhaps the most famous among them is the city of “Troy”, the city immortalized by the epic “Iliad” written by the Greek historian “Homer” 2700 years ago, and its famous wooden horse, and how resourcefulness sometimes overcomes strength in war. Today, it is included in the encyclopedia of the historical world heritage that must be preserved by the “UNESCO” organization, a city that if you do not visit it, you will not know the history!
