Sayyid Harun al-Wali (d. 23 Rabi al-Awwal 720 / 3 May 1320) was a Sufi saint regarded as the founder of Seydişehir. According to the Makalat-i Sayyid Harun, his lineage descends paternally from Imam Musa al-Kazim and maternally from Uways al-Qarani. He reached the Konya region around 1302 and around 1305 founded Seydişehir, building a mosque, madrasa, lodge and bathhouse near Mount Küpe. His tomb, built in the year of his death, adjoins the north facade of the Seyyid Harun Veli Mosque. (Sources: TDV Encyclopaedia of Islam, 'Seyyid Hârun', vol. 37, 2009; TDV İA, 'Seydişehir')
