Diyarbakir







The walls of Diyarbakir are black. Made of basalt? They are very old and quite well preserved and are second only to the Great Wall of China. Oh, you great wall. The Ulu mosque had some very interesting architecture. The most interesting place for me was the church of the Virgin Mary, still in use, which houses the bones of the apostle Thomas. Yeah! His bones, creepy, but cool.
