Harran

Believed to be the ancient city of Harran mentioned in the Old Testament, Harran, 48 km south of Şanlı Urfa, is known more now for its unusual beehive dwellings than as the place where Abraham actually spent several years of his lif. Harran, which was also known Helenopolis, was burned and destroyed by Mongolian invaders in 1260. Included among the archeological finds are those of the largest ancient Islamic university, city walls dating from the eighth century, four gates and a citadel.
