The Kubad Abad Palace is the only Seljuk palace site in Anatolia that has survived to the present day with a known architectural plan. Located on the southwestern shore of Lake Beyşehir, the ruins reveal traces of nearly twenty structures of varying sizes. Within the site, monumental remains can still be identified: the Great Palace to the north, the Small Palace to the south, and further south, structures believed to have served as a dockyard or boathouse.

Archaeological excavations at Kubad Abad began in 1965 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Otto-Dorn, with the participation of Mehmet Önder. These early excavations continued for only three years, followed by a long interruption of approximately thirteen years.

In 1980, excavations were resumed by Prof. Dr. Rüçhan Arık and have continued uninterrupted ever since. Among the most significant discoveries made in the Great and Small Palaces are the celebrated Kubad Abad tiles, regarded as some of the most important masterpieces of Turkish tile art.
