🕌 Ancient cave mosque in Türkiye’s Sanliurfa

Carved into natural rock, the mosque sits in Birecik district along the Euphrates River in Sanliurfa, a city in southeastern Türkiye renowned for its cultural heritage

Originally used as a church by early Christians, its exact construction date remains unknown

Closed in 1964 due to water damage, the mosque stayed inaccessible for 56 years before restoration allowed it to reopen

It also withstood the powerful 2023 earthquakes that struck southern Türkiye and northern Syria
