POTENTIAL
OF TOURISM
The
culture of Mardin bears the
imprint of various antique
civilizations flourishing in the
area. Mardin has an enormous
historical, cultural and
architectural richness. It is
apparent that this richness has
the potential of contributing
much to the development of the
province and national tourism if
mobilized and managed properly.
Mardin enjoys a
privileged status in the sense
that it is able to make people
live the past and to present
what is old and valuable to
present generations. Mardin’s
cultural diversity is further
enriched by the deep-rooted
culture of various communities
including the oldest Christian
community, the Suryani. Who can
refuse to see a city of
tolerance where ezan from
mosques lives in brotherhood
with church bells?
In recent years Mardin
has become a center of
attraction for many people from
different parts of the world. It
is a candidate for UNESCO’s
List of “Cities of World
Heritage.”
Submitting,
protecting and transferring
cultural richness for the next
generations require a big
importance. In our city and its
provinces we have 665 buildings
registered by protection of
culture and nature values
