Mardin Ulucamii

This beauty must be seen. I think it must be seen in every season.

We visited during our Mardin trip and once performed our prayers, we visited the beard sheriff of our prophet.Mardin Artuklu is also among the places to be seen.It would be much more beautiful if a guide was helpful, the names of the 4 caliphs are written on its minaret.

It is one of the must-visit places in Mardin. Must see, must listen to history.

Who came and who went. A place where spiritual air will be worked into your cells. Listen to your heart in the morning prayer. Flow through the corridors of silence and spirituality. Do not forget to see the Prophet's Beard Sharif. Mardin is also within walking distance.

The mosque, which is one of the works of Artuqid principality, was built with two minarets and one of the minarets is said to have been destroyed by the Mongolian ruler Timur. There are Assyrian priests who say that there was a church in place before the construction. There is a fountain symbolizing human life in the courtyard of the mosque, which was built with a courtyard as an example of the Artuqid architectural style. It is a fine example of stonework.

The most striking feature of the building is undoubtedly its minaret. It has an imposing minaret that can be seen from many parts of Mardin. In terms of decoration, the building has a simple appearance.

Grand Mosque, The mosque, which is one of the oldest structures in Mardin, is truly grand, like its name. When viewed from afar, it adds a meaning and value to the city's panorama, and even becomes the symbol of the city... For the first time, the external threading technique is used on the minaret of a mosque, then the same technique is used in other buildings, and it gradually becomes the common feature of the city. We see that it existed in 1176 in historical records, the exact date of its construction is unknown. There is even a rumor that it was built as a double minaret, and then one of the minarets was destroyed. There is a rumor that it was built on the ruins of an old church, just as its dome was built later. We see a magnificent harmony with its dome. The mosque has a rectangular courtyard, from which it is seen that there is an entrance to the mosque with 4 doors. An Artuqid fountain stands out in one corner of the courtyard. It was aimed to establish a philosophical similarity between the flow of water flowing from this fountain by passing from the pool to the pool and the flow of human life. It is a pity that the mosque is stuck between the surrounding buildings. Especially a mosque, which will suit the squares. Still, it's like saying I'm here, this city is mine, I'm not destroyed, I'm standing. The interior of the mosque is also different from many mosques. It is dazzling with the grooves of its altar and its wooden pulpit, which presents the best example of craftsmanship. The beard section of the sheriff is another distinctive feature of the mosque. One of the must-see places in the city. Nesrin Aykac.
