To the southwest behind the bazaar in the Odun Pazari quarter stood one of Konya's old gates and the Ihyaiyye Camii or Kapi Camii (Tower Mosque) is named after it. The building was constructed in 1658, it fell into disrepair and in 1811 Konya's Mufti (spiritual leader) Esenlerlizade Seyid Abdurrahman commissioned a new mosque. A fire destroyed the mosque and adjoining shops but it was rebuilt the following year.
