Selçuklu is a city and a district in the Turkish province of Konya . Since a regional reform in 2014 , the municipality ( Belediye ) is congruent with the district (İlçe). All previous villages ( köy ) are now districts ( Mahalle ) of the municipality. The district includes the northwestern part of the core city of Konya .

It borders on Meram to the south, Derbent and Ilgın to the west, Kadınhanı and Sarayönü to the north, Altınekin to the northeast and Karatay to the southeast . The D-300 road to Afyonkarahisar and Izmir runs north through the district from Konya, and the D-715 to the north-east to European route 90 to Ankara . In the south, the D-330 to Beyşehir and Isparta follows roughly the district border to Meram. In the east, the branch of the Anatolian Railway from Eskişehir to Konya crosses the district. In the north of the district are the Bozdağ mountains with the 1956 meter high summit and Karadağ with the mountain of the same name of 1919 meters and the Atağrı Tepesi of 2129 meters, in the west foothills of the Aladağ with the Çatal Tepesi (2065 meters) and the Çinikoyağı Tepesi ( 1789 meters).
