Reji Church (Saint Petrus and Saint Paulus Church)
Constructed in the name of two apostles of Jesus, the building was built in 1861 on the ruins of a church from 6th century. The church was actively used until the Syriac immigration to Aleppo (Syria). The building was used by the Tekel Administration as a tobacco factory and then as a grape warehouse. It was named “Reji Church” by the people because of the French word Regie meaning Tekel (Monopoly). Inscripted gravestones extracted from the church were sent to Şanlıurfa Museum. The church has been restored, and now serves as a cultural center.
