Bazda Caves
Bazda Mağaraları
Vast man-made caverns quarried by ancient people, with pillar-supported halls believed to be linked to the construction of Harran.
The caves lie about 20 km east of Harran. Their ceilings rise more than ten metres, and quarry marks and a few inscriptions remain on the walls. Legend says the stone was used to build Harran's walls and mosques. The caves are cool and have been used as a film location. The site is open, but bring a torch if you go inside, and watch your step on the uneven floor.
