Experience Ancient Serenity at Mor Kiryakus Monastery, Türkiye's Hidden Wonder in Batman

Mor Kiryakus Monastery

The Mor Kuryakos Monastery (Mor Kuryakos Manastırı) at the far end of the Turabdin region is considered sacred by Assyrian Christians, and has an important place among the nearly 80 churches and monasteries in this region. There are many inscriptions written in Assyrian, including on the main gate at the entrance to the monastery, and on the arches and walls in the courtyards. The first inscription mentions a person named Salibo of Aleppo, but does not give any information about the date of the monastery's construction.
