AD by Abdullah Bin Hamdan of the
Hamdani. It extends 1 km from

from 30 to 150 meters. According
to pilgrims stopping at Mardin
at various times, there used to
be 200 to 300 buildings within
the castle and the fortress
stroke attention with its rather
strong built. Another feature of
the castle is that it was turned
