When I read that the church was translated into full, when I read that there was an Armenian, an Armenian friend called to feast in such a coincidence that comes every 100 years :) No need to read The mosque is not understood as when entered into. A very different place if you get out of the lake from the fish here 5 minutes by foot. If you go down the narrow roads next to the street you came from on the exit, you will see the old urfa roads.

Another unknown mosque in Urfa. Known as the St. John's Church at the time it was built, the church was converted into a mosque when Saladin added this region to the Islamic lands. It has a beautiful architecture and is within walking distance of Balıklıgöl. On your trip to Urfa, you can walk around this mosque and the old streets of Urfa.

It is a historical mosque that remained in the side streets of Urfa, which is not very well known. Its architectural structure fascinates itself. I think it is one of the places to be visited.
