A view of miniature Konya Slender Minaret Madrasah at Miniatürk in springtime (Turkish: İlkbahar mevsiminde minyatür Konya İnce Minareli Medrese'nin Miniatürk Maket Park/Minyatür Türkiye Parkı'nda bir görüntüsü). The park is a miniature theme park situated at the north-eastern shore of Golden Horn, literally Turkish Haliç or Altın Boynuz, in Şehr-i Istanbul, Turkey.

The mosque was built between 1260-1264 by the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate Vizier Sâhib Ata Fahreddin Ali who later founded the Anatolian beylik of Sâhib Ata. The minaret was originally much taller than the section that survives today, and had an unusually slender appearance in comparison to the minarets of other contemporary Seljuk Mosques, hence the name of the structure. The mosque is located in Konya Province, Central Anatolia Region of Modern Republic of Turkey.
