Sanliurfa, Turkey: A Glimpse into the Past through an Old Postcard Sanliurfa, located in the southeastern part of Turkey and serving as the capital city of Sanliurfa Province, is a place steeped in history and cultural richness. This postcard, dating back to the French occupation of the region around 1925, offers a captivating view of the city's iconic landmarks: the Citadel, Square Tower, and Crusader Church. The Citadel, an imposing fortress perched atop a hill, has been a symbol of strength and resilience throughout history. It has witnessed the rule of various civilizations, including the Urartians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. The Square Tower, a distinctive architectural feature, stands proudly next to the Citadel, adding an element of grandeur to the scene. The Crusader Church, also known as Surp Giragos Church, is a testament to the city's diverse religious heritage. Originally built in the 10th century, it has been a place of worship for the Armenian Apostolic Church for centuries. The church's intricate architecture and vibrant colors reflect the unique cultural tapestry of Sanliurfa. Sanliurfa, formerly known as Edessa, Riha, and Urhay in different languages, has been an essential part of the Ottoman Empire during the 1920s. This postcard provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's past, offering a glimpse into the history and beauty that continues to captivate visitors today.
