Once known as the Mar-Toma Church, the original structure was converted into a mosque following the Muslim conquest of the city in 639 and rebuilt in 1091 by<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seljuk Sultan Malik-Shah I. Considered one of the five Harem-i Sharif (Holy Places) of the Islamic world, the Mosque is believed to reflect many of the architectural characteristics of the famous Umayyad Mosque of Damascus. Built with basalt blocks, the Great Mosque of Diyarbak\u0131r has separate sections for Hanafis and Shafis, and two separate madrasas, Mesudiye and Zinciriye. This important and historical structure is most definitely worth visiting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Diyarbak\u0131r Walled Fortress&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The monumental Diyarbak\u0131r City Walls (Diyarbak\u0131r Surlar\u0131) form a five-kilometer ring around the old fortress. While the Walls are believed to have been originally built in the 6th century BC, the current structure was erected in the 4th century, under Byzantine rule. Inscriptions on the walls have been dated to the Roman, Byzantine, Great Seljuk, Artuqid and Ottoman Empires. The Diyarbak\u0131r Fortress was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background
