Kayqubadiyya, was a palace built by the Seljuk Sultan of Rum, Kayqubad I, between 1224 and 1226. Located northwest of Kayseri, the place is now called Kiybad Ciftligi and sits near the plain of Mashhad. As a place to review the troops, the road, which proceeds past the palace, has been in use since pre-Roman times.
