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.
