Historical Şanlıurfa Streets
Streets and houses constitute an important part of Şanlıurfa’s historical architectural texture. It is a great treasure that a significant part of this texture, which consists of hundreds of beautiful houses and streets, has survived to our days. Şanlıurfa, one of the rare cities that has survived to our day by preserving a significant part of its civil architecture and monumental architectural texture, is a candidate province for UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage List with its historical city center. In addition to all these features, Şanlıurfa’s streets are full of Şanlıurfa’s sounds. It is quite possible to hear locals of Şanlıurfa who speak various local languages and dialects while walking on a street, or to hear folk songs in diverse languages.
