Beyşehir

Beyşehir is a town in Konya Province in central Turkey, on the shore of Lake Beyşehir, the country's largest freshwater lake. In the late 13th and early 14th centuries it was the capital of the Eshrefid beylik, whose ruler Süleyman Bey built the wooden-columned Eşrefoğlu Mosque there. The Seljuk summer palace of Kubadabad stood on the lake's western shore.
