A day in Diyarbakır: a walk in Sur

A walk in the heart of Sur: the 16th-century Hasan Paşa Han, the Ulu Mosque (Grand Mosque), one of the oldest mosques in Anatolia, the Dengbêj House, which keeps the dengbêj (storytelling song) tradition alive, the 42-room basalt Cemil Paşa Mansion, the Şeyh Mutahhar Mosque with its four-legged minaret, and the Surp Giragos Church, reopened in 2022.
