Fırfırlı Mosque
Fırfırlı Camii
Originally a 19th-century Armenian Church of the Twelve Apostles, later converted into a mosque. Its stone façade and arched windows retain the church style.
The building lies in the former Armenian quarter on the western side of the old town. It is made of local pale limestone, and its interior layout still reveals the church plan, bearing witness to the multi-religious history of Edessa-Urfa. It can be explored on foot together with the Kızılkoyun Necropolis and the Archaeology Museum. Admission is free.
