Major Cities in Turkey

Sanliurfa:

Sanliurfa is a city with 462,923 inhabitants (2006 estimate) in south-eastern Turkey, and the capital of Sanliurfa Province. Urfa is situated on a plain under big open skies, about eighty kilometres east of the Euphrates River. The climate features extremely hot, dry summers and cool, moist winters.

Places of interest

• A traditional birthplace of the prophet Abraham - a cave to the south of the city
• Urfa castle - built in antiquity, the current walls were constructed by the Abbasids in 814AD.
• The legendary Pool of Sacred Fish (Balikligöl) where Abraham was thrown into the fire by Nimrod. The pool is in the courtyard of the mosque of Halil-ur-Rahman, built by the Ayyubids in 1211 and now surrounded by attractive gardens designed by architect Merih Karaaslan. The fish are not a pretty sight as they thrash about frantically devouring bread thrown by visitors. But the courtyard is very peaceful and it is said that if you see a white fish you will go to heaven.
• Rizvaniye Mosque - a more recent (1716) Ottoman mosque, adjoining the Balikligöl complex.
• Ayn Zeliha - another pool nearby, named after a lady follower of Abraham.
• Ruins of the ancient city walls.
• Eight Turkish baths built in the Ottoman period.
• The traditional Urfa houses were split into sections for family (harem) and visitors (selam). There is an example open to the public next to the post office in the district of Kara Meydan.
• The Temple of Nevali Cori - Neolithic settlement dating back to 8000BC, now buried under the waters behind the Atatürk Dam, but some artefacts relocated above the waterline.
• Göbekli Tepe - The world's oldest known stone temples, dated 10th millennium BC (ca 11,500 years ago).
