"Mardin is a city in a rocky region in southeastern Anatolia. The
city is mainly medieval in origin and is situated on the slopes of a
rocky hill, crowned by o fortress built on its citadel.
This barren stoney region around Diyarbaklr and Mardin stretches as for
as Sanliurfa and Gaziantep.
The city as a whole with its traditional stone, religious and vernacular
architecture and its terraced urban pattern is the best preserved
example of Anatolian soil.
Deyrulzafaran Monastery is one of the living religious center of
Syriandacobites in Mardin, an impressive architectural complex in the
Mesopotamian plain." -http://whc.unesco.org
"This is a view from Mardin, the city located southeastern of Turkey.
Mardin is full of history... It has mixed different religions.
You can find a Mosque next to a Church.", shares Deniz.
Thank you so much Deniz for sharing this postcard with me! =)
