Mardin is an ancient city, but little is known of the pre-Roman times. It certainly existed in Assyrian times.
Under the Romans it was called Marida, a fortress was built on the hill overlooking the city. From the city to the south on the Syrian plain.

Much of the city clings to the rise of rock, although it seems to be spreading into the surrounding hills as well.

The center has a wonderful streets up and down the slopes or level remaining parallel to one of the main streets.

They have beautiful homes that line them. There is a small but pleasant covered bazaar and the city has some beautiful mosques and a number medreses or Koranic schools, many with precious stones As usual, It’s ll introduce the photos now, and add some comments in the coming days .

I also have slides from a previous visit with a trip to the monastery of Mars Hanania, 6 km from the city, a Syrian Orthodox monastery that now houses an orphanage.

When I find time to scan and edit them, they will be posted here too.

Another place of Christian pilgrimage is the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, now revered as saints. It is said that during the Christian persecution of Emperor Decius (250 AD), seven Christian youths of Ephesus were called before a court because of their faith. They refused to sacrifice to idols, were convicted but released at the moment. To avoid re-arrest hid in a cave. Discovered, were walled up in the cave itself. The seven young men slept in their prison awaiting death. They were awakened by the masons who breached the wall, wanted to build a pen. It had been two hundred years and was Malchus fell back into town when he discovered to his amazement of being in a city where Christian symbols were now tolerated. Initially mistaken for a madman, it was finally believed when the bishop and the citizens went to the cave and were able to verify the story.
