From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Iconium
     the capital of ancient Lycaonia. It was first visited by Paul
     and Barnabas from Antioch-in-Pisidia during the apostle's first
     missionary journey (Acts 13:50, 51). Here they were persecuted
     by the Jews, and being driven from the city, they fled to
     Lystra. They afterwards returned to Iconium, and encouraged the


     church which had been founded there (14:21,22). It was probably
     again visited by Paul during his third missionary journey along
     with Silas (18:23). It is the modern Konieh, at the foot of
     Mount Taurus, about 120 miles inland from the Mediterranean.
