Great Mosque of Mardin
Mardin Ulu Camii
The Great Mosque from the Artuqid period in the 12th century. Its cylindrical minaret, with Seljuk-style relief carvings, is a landmark of Mardin's skyline.
The Great Mosque of Mardin was built during the Artuqid period in the 12th century. It is one of the oldest mosques in the city and has been restored many times. Its most striking feature is the cylindrical minaret covered in geometric patterns and inscriptions, visible from almost anywhere in the old town. The prayer hall has fluted domes and stone columns, and the courtyard is peaceful. Outside prayer times, entry is free. Women should cover their hair, wear long clothing and remove their shoes before entering. The mosque sits in the market area below the main street, about 5 minutes' walk down the steps from First Avenue.
