CELTIK
The history of paddy dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries. According to İbrahim Hakkı Konyalı's book "Konya History", Çeltik's past is based on the city of Akça, a province of Karaman. Akça City, which was founded in a place called "İbanın Kuyusu" near Çeltik, gained a district identity in 1902, but due to its swamp and mosquito abundance, the title of district was first given to Hatırlı and then transferred to Cihanbeyli. Çeltik, which remained a village until 1958, became a town in 1968 and a district in 1990.
Located in the northwest of Konya, Çeltik is neighbors with Polatlı in the east, Emirdağ in the west, Yunak in the south and Sivrihisar in the north. The continental climate prevails in Çeltik, which was established on Inner Western Anatolia, and the summers are hot and dry, and the winters are cold and snowy. Çeltik consists of 14 Neighborhoods. These are the neighborhoods of Fatih, Selçuk, Bahçesaray, Bahçelievler, Aliçomak, Adakasim, Doğanyurt, Gökpınar, İshakuşağı, Kaşören Küçükhasan, Torunlar, Karşıyaka and Honamlı.
Since rice was cultivated here in the past, the name of the settlement was called Çeltik. Rice cultivation was abandoned due to the high number of mosquitoes.

Çeltik Merkez Mosque
Çeltik Merkez Mosque was built in H.1231 / M. 1815. Its patron is unknown. It is owned by the General Directorate of Foundations and is used as a mosque. It was registered with the decision of Konya Cultural Heritage Preservation Board on 04.03.1988 and 97. The mosque, which was built by the Local Administrators in 1815, is one of the best structures in the region in terms of design and workmanship and was designed as a Kulliye. In the first years of the Republic, the surrounding buildings and burial ground were removed. The restored building has a smooth stone work. The domes are lead coated. The plan consists of a narthex and a multi-domed harim. The minaret is in the northwest corner and is connected to the harim. The narthex has a colonnade with a pointed arch in the middle and a portico that sits on the walls on the sides. The arch in the middle is high and has two round windows on the sides and a triangular pediment in the middle. Its cover is designed as a flat wooden beam. The harim is entered through a double-winged low-arched door. The door is surrounded by a deaf pointed arch at the top and there is an inscription inside. The harim is divided into three stages with four legs. The feet are connected to each other and to the side walls with pointed arches and nine domes are placed on the nine sections formed. The Stone Mihrab is plain. The pulpit was removed due to restoration. Lighting is provided by rectangular form at the bottom and small arched windows at the top. The building, which had a heater, was opened to worship again.
