Sacred Sites of Mardin

This collection highlights the architectural and spiritual heritage of the Mardin region, a historic crossroads of civilizations in Upper Mesopotamia. It features 12th-century Artuqid mosques, such as the iconic Ulu Camii, alongside the ancient Syriac Orthodox monasteries of the Tur Abdin plateau. From the 4th-century foundations of Mor Gabriel and the Church of Saint Jacob to the former patriarchal seat at Mor Hananyo, these sites represent nearly two millennia of continuous religious tradition and distinct stone masonry craftsmanship.
