HESUNA NEOLITHIC CAVE - In FARQIN (Siliva)
| Hasuni Cave City, Silvan AMED Amîd[a] Hasuni Caves, located on the southern slopes of Albat Mountain and 6 kilometers east of Farqîn Silvan city in Amed province, were continuously inhabited from the Middle Stone Age (around 10.000 BC) until 13th century. Hasuni Caves, consisting of 300 rooms of various sizes carved on solid rock fragments resembling a castle, are interconnected by corridoors with 3, 5 and 7 floors. Among the caves there are cisterns, stone-carved water tanks, water channels, baths, rock stairs, stone paving paths, a fountain, rock church, weaving workshops and a mini amphitheater. At the summit of the rock city, there is a small area that is reached by a long stone staircase and is estimated to be used as a votive place. The 4-storey Hasuni Rock Church, with a funnel-shaped top, carved into the rocks, consists of several rooms and next to it has a mini amphitheater and water tanks. It was used as a church from the first periods of Christianity to the 13th century. The stone church, built using colorful cut stones and bricks unique to Silvan, is located on the flat area on the outskirts of the Cave City. Inscriptions within the complex indicate, it was a place of worship with renovations recorded as early as A.D. 861, showcasing early medieval Christian architecture in the region. |
