Amed/Diyarbakir

Attraction Northern Kurdistan 0


ExploreKurdistan-Amed

The pearl of Kurdistan is based on the banks of the river Tigris: a city brewed with 9000 years of history, countless civilizations, and rich multiculturalism. An epicenter of the freedom movement. Amed is well known for its grand Cuisine, award winning, folk dance, hand arts , copper engraving, tailoring, jewelry,  and notoriously  big watermelons. Archeological research at Cayonu dated the city back to 9000 years ago (Mesolithic ages) and the city has since been ruled by likes of Hittite, Median, Byzantines and Persian. An open air jewel of Amed is the great wall encircling its center, it is known as the largest man made wall after the great wall of china and is a prime example of middle aged military architecture built by Constantine in 349
