HASANKEYF
Two
guard towers ensured the bridge's security At
Hasankeyf are the ruins of the 12th century capital of
the Artukids. The bridge, which once spanned the Dicle
and connected the two parts of the city and the ruined
palace inside the citadel, evokes the ghosts of a
vanished dynasty. Unfortunately Hasankeyf will be
submerged by the water collecting in dam as the part
of Southerneast Anatolia Project. We'd like to
invite you to
see here for the last time. The 15th century Zeynel
Bey Mausoleum, attractively decorated with turquoise
tiles, reveals Persian influences.
