Harran Village - Gobeklitepe - Balıklıgöl - Sanliurfa - Adıyaman
Harran Ruins - Harran Ruins likely refer to the traditional houses found in Harran, a historic city in southeastern Turkey. These houses are renowned for their unique architecture, characterized by conical roofs made from mud and straw. The design is not only visually striking but also practical, as the thick walls and insulating properties of the materials help regulate indoor temperatures in the extreme climate of the region. The use of locally available materials and the specific construction techniques used in these houses reflect the deep connection between architecture and the environment.
Potbelly Hill - Göbekli Tepe is an archaeological site located in southeastern Turkey, near the city of Şanlıurfa. It’s often referred to as one of the world’s oldest known temples or ceremonial sites. What makes Göbekli Tepe fascinating is its age; it dates back to around 9600 BCE, which places it even before the advent of agriculture. The site consists of multiple circular structures with large T-shaped stone pillars intricately carved with various animal depictions and symbols. It’s believed that these pillars held spiritual or religious significance for the people who constructed the site. Göbekli Tepe challenges our understanding of prehistoric societies and their capabilities, suggesting that complex communal activities were taking place much earlier than previously thought.
Balikligol - Balıklıgöl, also known as the “Pool of Sacred Fish,” is a historical and religious site located in Şanlıurfa, Turkey. It holds significance in various religious and cultural traditions. According to local legend, this pool is believed to be the place where the prophet Abraham (Ibrahim in Islamic tradition) was thrown into the fire by King Nimrod, only to be saved by divine intervention.
The pool is home to hundreds of sacred carp fish, and feeding them is considered a symbolic act with religious and cultural connotations. Visitors often enjoy observing and feeding the fish while exploring the area’s rich history and the nearby attractions, like the historical bazaar and the Göbekli Tepe archaeological site. Balıklıgöl remains an important pilgrimage site for many, drawing people from different backgrounds to its spiritual and serene atmosphere.
