What to expect
The Diyarbakır Fortress and Hevsel Gardens Cultural Landscape is a fortified settlement along the Tigris River, which played an important role in many civilizations, including Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad, Artuqid, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. The Diyarbakır City Walls stretch for 5,800 meters with many towers, gates, buttresses, and historic inscriptions. The site also includes the Hevsel Gardens, a green link between the city and the Tigris River, which supplied the city with food and water. The city walls and the gardens are a testament to the city's rich history and cultural significance
