Скачать или смотреть Dara Ancient City in Mardin Turkey | Experience Anatolia Heritage Tour with Asian Travelers

Discover the remarkable Dara Ancient City in Mardin, Turkey, one of the most important archaeological settlements of Late Antiquity and the Eastern Roman frontier. During our Heritage Tour with Experience Anatolia Tours, our travelers from Asia explored this timeless site and learned the historical significance of Dara’s architecture, water systems, and defensive structures.

Dara was founded in the sixth century by the Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius I as a fortified military city built to protect the empire against Sassanian threats. Known as the “Eastern Wall of the Romans,” Dara became a powerful stronghold with an advanced hydraulic system, massive cisterns carved into the earth, and monumental necropolises that still astonish visitors today.

The city played a key role in the Roman Persian wars and served as a strategic administrative and cultural hub in Upper Mesopotamia. Its underground water channels, rock cut tombs, and stone architecture make Dara one of the most unique archaeological landscapes in Turkey.

Experience Anatolia Tours brings travelers directly into the heart of these ancient stories. Our guests walk among the excavated streets, explore the cisterns and necropolis, and witness the engineering brilliance that shaped the region more than 1500 years ago. This video captures moments from our Asian travelers’ journey as they connect with the history, landscape, and cultural depth of Mardin. #easternturkey #youtubeshorts #travelturkey #visitturkey #exploreanatolia
