The Edge of the Mesopotamia

Here is Mardin, we are looking forward the endless Mesopotamia Plain now... In front of us there is a long minaret belongs to Mardin Ulu Mosque which was transformed from a church as it is said....and It has standed in Mardin since 1176 but it is also said it has a more history before 1176 and it is about the Roman Empire as i know.Meanwhile we can see only one minaret but the mosque had two and it lost one minaret by an earthquake or a thunderbolt...Actually it is said so ,by rumours...
