Mardin:
Mardin is a city in southeastern Turkey. The capital of Mardin Province, it is known for the Artuqid (Artıklı or Artuklu in Turkish) architecture of its old city, and for its strategic location on a rocky hill near the Tigris River that rises steeply over the flat plains.
Mardin is one of the oldest settled areas in upper Mesopotamia. Excavations done in the 1920s discovered remains in the area that dated to 4000 BCE. The first known civilization were the Subarians who were then succeeded in 3000BCE by the Hurrians. The Elamites gained control around 2230 BCE. and were followed by the Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians, Romans and Byzantines.
In 692, the Muslim Ummayads arrived and introduced Islam. The Abbasid Caliphate based in Baghdad replaced them in 824. Factions of the Seljuk Turks fought each other over Mardin as it changed hands many times before it was finally taken by Nahm ad-din Ilghazi, the bey of the Artukids, a Turkish dynasty founded by the Seljuk Emir Artuk. During the Artukid period, many of Mardin's historic buildings were constructed, including several Mosques, Palaces, Madrassas and Hans.
The lands of the Artukid dynasty fell to the Mongols sometime between 1235 and 1243, but the Mongols never directly governed the area. The Artukid family ruling Mardin became vassal state of the Mongol Empire. During the battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the Artuqid (Artık) ruler revolted against the Mongol rule. Hulegu's general and Chupan's ancestor, Koke-Ilge of the Jalayir, stormed the city and Hulegu appointed the rebel's son, al-Nasir, governor of Mardin. Although, Hulegu suspected the latter's loyalty for a while, thereafter the Artukids remained loyal unlike nomadic Bedoun and Kurd tribes in the south western frontier. The Mongol Ilkhanids considered them important allies. For this loyalty they shown, Artukids were given more lands in 1298 and 1304. Mardin later passed to the Akkoyunlu, a federation of Turkic tribes that controlled territory all the way to the Caspian Sea. In 1517, Mardin was annexed by the Ottomans under Selim the Grim. During this time, Mardin was administered by a governor directly appointed under the Ottoman Sultan's authority. In 1923, with the founding of the Republic of Turkey, Mardin was made the administrative capital of a province named after it.Mardin has often been considered an open air museum due to its historical architecture. Most buildings use the beige colored limestone rock which has been mined for centuries in quarries around the area.

Were you thinking about visiting this magical spot?
On 19th of October we decided not to stay in Istanbul and bought our flight tickets to Mardin immediately to see this beauty.
The city is located on the slope of a hill looking down south to the Mesopotamian plains. Mardin is on the rail and highway routes connecting Turkey to Syria and Iraq.
Mardin is a highly addictive and unmissable spot. Minarets emerge from a baked brown labyrinth of meandering lanes, a castle dominates the old city, and stone houses cascade down the hillside above the Mesopotamian plains. As a melting pot of Kurdish, Yezidi, Christian and Syrian cultures, it also has a fascinating cultural mix.

Mardin Castle restored by climbers
Archaeological works have been accelerated on the Mardin Castle, known as the “Eagle Nest,” with a trained restoration team working on preventing stones and rocks from falling on the houses and historic structures in the outskirts of the castle.
The castle was partly restored at the time of Ottoman Sultan Selim III and was taken under restoration again after many years. The contractor company brought special steel barriers from Italy to reinforce the areas where rocks and stones fall from time to time.
The climbers’ reinforcement works begin early in the morning at the altitude of 1085 and continue until late. The structure of the castle is a handicap for the erection of a scaffold. All the while, residents of the city curiously watch the climbers.
Mardin Deputy Governor Ali Güldoğan said the castle, which had been transferred to the Turkish Armed Forces, would open to tourism after the works were done. He said they had applied many times since 2008 for the military unit to leave the castle and open it to tourism. “We have made progress about this issue, but have not received a result yet,” he said.
Reinforcement works have been continuing in the part of the historic castle that overlooks the city. Archaeological works and restorations are also continuing in the military area of the castle. A nearly 900-year-old mosque from the Artuklu era will also be restored and open to worship.
The Mardin Museum Provincial Director Nihat Erdoğan said within the scope of a protocol signed with the Turkish Armed Forces, when the works are done, all churches, mosques and palaces around the castle would be opened to visits.
The highest point
The castle is 1200 meters above sea level and 600 meters above ground. It is the highest point overlooking the old town of Mardin, which rises out of the side of a hill.
Mardin has witnessed the Assyrian, Persian, Roman, Byzantium, Umayyad, Abbasid, Seljuk, Hamdani, Artuklu, Karakoyunlu, Akkoyunlu, Safevi and Ottoman eras, without ever losing its importance. According to history, King Şad Buhari, a Zorastrian, arrived in Mardin Castle in 330 A.D. The ill King had a summer-place built and lived in Mardin for 12 years. Because he recovered during his stay in the castle, he brought many soldiers and civilians from his country, Persia, to relocate them in Mardin. Many improvements were seen after their arrival until 442 A.D. In 442 A.D. a terrible plague epidemic made the city an intolerable place to live.

48 saatte Mardin Bölüm 1
Yaşayan tarih kitabı; Mardin... Ah! Ne çok gecikmişiz seni keşfetmek için! Seninle ilgili hemen hepimizin hafızasında hep o bildik ve kalıp olarak ezberlenmiş cümle var: “Fırat ve Dicle nehirlerinin tam ortasında, İpek Yolu’nun üzerinde yer alır. Yukarı Mezopotamya’nın en eski şehirlerinden biridir.” Oysa ki Mardin bundan çok daha fazlasıymış. Biz bir yandan bu güzel şehre bu kadar geç kaldığımız için üzülürken diğer yandan da böyle bir güzelliğe sahip olduğumuz için ne kadar şanslı olduğumuzun farkına vardık.
Çok ideal bir hafta sonu rotası olan Mardin'i 48 saatte gezdik ve görüntüledik. Web sitemizde detaylı gezi notlarımızı da mutlaka bakın deriz.
