The old Assyriac Monastery
Though the Deyrulzafaran Monastery is a short bus ride away from Mardin, it is a world away. You will be surpised that behind the beautifully crafted gates, there is a beatiful monastery which was built in the 5th century. This is an active Monastery - with services held every Sunday. Though a Holy site for centuries, the facility is open for tourists to experience. They have tours that run approx. 30 min. and often, the tours are packed, so there is ample space to wait at the Cafe near the entrance. However, the tour is mostly in Turkish. The first printing press of Anatolia is housed in this Monastery. Do make the trip over, you won't be disappointed! 🏰🌟🌤 #roadtrip #urbanexplorer #summervacation #exploreturkey #historicculture
