Göbeklitepe, located near Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey, is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Dating back to around 9600 BCE, it is considered the world’s oldest known temple complex. The site consists of large, circular stone structures supported by massive T-shaped pillars, some of which are intricately carved with depictions of animals and symbols.

Discovered in the 1990s, Göbeklitepe has challenged traditional views of early human societies, suggesting that organized religion and communal gatherings may have preceded the development of agriculture. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of humanity’s early cultural and spiritual achievements.

The Colosseum is the main symbol of Rome. It's an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years of history, will bring you back in time to discover the way of life in the Roman Empire.

The construction of the Colosseum began in the year 72 under the empire of Vespasian and was finished in the year 80 during the rule of the emperor Titus. After completion, the Colosseum became the greatest Roman amphitheatre, measuring 188 metres (616 feet) in length, 156 metres (511 feet) in width, and 57 metres (187 feet) in height.

During the Roman Empire and under the motto of "Bread and Circuses" the Roman Colosseum (known then as Flavian Amphitheatre) allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles, and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years.

The Colosseum remained active for over 500 years. The last recorded games in history were celebrated in the 6th century.

The majority of the Dome Houses identified with Harran still exist. There are two reasons why the dome parts of the houses in Harran are covered with bricks. One is the lack of wood material due to the region being a desert, and the other is the abundant brick material in Harran. The domes of the houses, which are up to 5 meters high from the inside, are built with 30-40 rows of bricks. The domes and walls, which are connected with clay plaster, are plastered with this mortar from the inside and outside. Harran houses are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, in accordance with the climate of the region.

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul is located northeast of Ellisekiz Square. The structure was built in 1861 on the ruins of a 6th century church. Since the church was built in memory of two of Jesus' apostles, it bears their name. The structure was actively used until 1924, when the Assyrians of Urfa migrated to Aleppo (Syria).

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was first used as a tobacco factory and then as a grape warehouse by the Tekel administration in 1924. The church was named "Regie Church" by the people because of the French word Regie (Reji). The inscribed gravestones removed from the church were sent to the Urfa Museum. The church was restored by the Şanlıurfa Governorship in 1998 and opened as the "Governor Kemalettin Gazezoğlu Cultural Center" on May 24, 2002. It is still used for various social events today.

Han El Barur Kervansarayı

Located in Göktaş Village, 27 km southeast of Harran, the Han El-Ba'rur dates back to the Ayyubid period. Located on the Harran-Baghdad road route in the mountainous region known as the Tektek Mountains, the caravanserai consists of a mosque, guard room, stables, bathhouse and summer rooms. The structure bears all the characteristics of Anatolian Seljuk caravanserais. Surrounding a nearly square courtyard measuring 43.30x44.80 meters, the caravanserai has two inscriptions, one to the north and the other to the west. According to the inscription on the entrance gate, the caravanserai was built by İsa oğlu el-Hac Hüsameddin Ali Bey in 1128-1129. The name of the inn, "Ba'rur", means "Goat manure" in Arabic.

According to legend, the person who had the inn built filled it with raisins and offered it to his guests who were passing by or staying in the caravanserai. He said, "Those who come after me will fill this place with goat manure." The structure fell into disrepair after the Mongol invasion and was used as a barn by the locals for many years. The fact that it was filled with goat manure is truly thought-provoking and meaningful.

The ancient city of Shuayb, 80 kilometers from the city center of Sanliurfa, is a settlement thought to have been founded in the late Roman period (4-5th century AD).

This historical city, which spreads over a very large area, is surrounded by city walls, traces of which can be seen here and there. Structures made of cut stones were built on numerous rock tombs in the city center. Some of the wall and foundation remains of these structures, which have all been destroyed, have survived to the present day.

It is believed among the people that the Prophet Shuayb lived in this city and that the city took its name from the Prophet Shuayb. Among the ruins, a cave consisting of four rooms carved into the rock is visited as the Shrine of the Prophet Shuayb.

Soğmatar Antik Kenti

The ancient city of Sogmatar, located 53 km from Harran, Sanliurfa, dates back to the 2nd century AD. It has been scientifically determined that the region was a cult center where the people of Harran worshipped the moon and planet gods in the Tektek Mountains region during the Abgar Kingdom. The word Sogmatar comes from the Arabic word "Matar", meaning rain. The water collected in the numerous cisterns and wells in this region of the Tektek Mountains, which receives abundant rain in the winter, met the water needs of the sheep and goat herds grazing in the mountains during the summer months. Due to this feature, the village is still known as "Rainy" today.

In the cult site of Sogmatar; there is a cave (Pognon Cave) where the moon god Sin was worshipped, a hill (Sacred Hill) with reliefs of the gods and inscriptions carved into the ground on its slopes, 6 square and round-plan mausoleums (Monumental Tomb), an inner castle and many rock tombs carved into the main rock. Soğmatar was founded by the people who fled the region due to the intense attacks of the Parthians (Iranians) on the Urfa region in 165 AD and maintained its cult center character until the Islamic Period.

Karahantepe is located 60 kilometers east of Şanlıurfa. Şanlıurfa, which has a history of 12 thousand years, is believed to be the ancient city of Ur Kaśdim (City of the Chaldeans). Urfa proudly displays the heritage of all the civilizations that developed in the region.

Şanlıurfa is a place considered sacred by Jews, Christians and Muslims. According to the Old Testament, the Prophet Abraham, “the father of the three monotheistic religions,” was born in the city of Ur Kaśdim and migrated with his family to Harran, the “House of the Patriarchs.”

Şanlıurfa lands were one of the cities of the Hurrian State in the 2nd millennium BC. Some believe that Hz. Abraham was born in a cave near the location of the Mevlid-i Halil Mosque. The region and the cave are therefore considered sacred.

It is interesting that so many Neolithic sites such as Göbeklitepe, Karahantepe, and Nevali Çori are located in almost the same area in such close proximity.

Recent archaeological studies show that Karahantepe may be even earlier than Göbeklitepe. This shows that the site is the oldest known Neolithic site in the world. There is a similar settlement plan in Karahantepe as in Nevali Çori and Göbeklitepe.

Nearly 250 “T” shaped obelisks have been unearthed to date.

Within the scope of the “Göbeklitepe Culture and Karahantepe Excavations” project, surface research was initiated by Istanbul University in the area known to the local people as “Keçilitepe” 2 years ago. The studies are directed by Professor Dr. Necmi Karul.

Karahantepe and the entire Şanlıurfa region continue to change the known history of the world.
