Hz. Süleyman Mosque And Tombs Of The 27 Companions

Located in the Inner Castle (İç Kale), the oldest part of the Diyarbakır walls, the Hz. Süleyman Mosque was built between 1155 and 1160. The presence of the tombs of Süleyman, the son of Khalid ibn al-Walid, and 27 companions (sahaba) who were martyred during the conquest of Diyarbakır by Islamic armies, makes this place one of the city's most important spiritual centers. With its elegant minaret built of black basalt stone, shaded courtyard, and historical fountains, this complex is an indispensable stop for visitors seeking both to feel the deep-rooted history of the city and to find spiritual peace.
