マルディンでは、先史時代から人が住んでおり、キリスト教が最初に広まった場所の一つです。ここに住むアッシリア人は、この宗教を受け入れた最初の社会でもあります。今日、マルディンではあらゆる宗教が手を取り合っています。アルトゥク朝のモスクとシリア修道院が隣接している都市は他に何か所あるでしょうか?

この都市は、預言者ムハンマドの後、第二代カリフのオマルの時代に7世紀にイスラムの土地に含まれました。セルジュクの支流であるアルトゥク朝、アッコユンル、オスマン帝国もこの地域にトルコ・イスラムの-identityを持ち込みました。この場所は一時期アルトゥク朝の首都としても機能しました。ここで何千年もの歴史を目の当たりにしてきた石造りの建物の間を散策すると、まるでおとぎ話に入り込んだような気分になります。

後期古代および中世の教会・修道院(モル・ソボ教会、聖母マリア教会(ヨルダト・アロホ)、デイルルザファラン修道院、モル・ガブリエル修道院、モル・アバイ修道院、モル・ルーゾル修道院、モル・ヤクプ修道院、モル・クルヤコス教会、そしてモル・アゾゾ教会)は、ユネスコの世界遺産暫定リストに掲載されており、これらの構造物ができるだけ早く恒久リストに掲載されることを期待しています。

街の通りにある独特のアーチ型の通路、すなわちアッバラは、都市の特徴的なテクスチャーの象徴です。それは多くの点で家々の下を通り、互いに交差しているように見えます。ここでは言語と宗教が交錯しています。修道院、モスク、墓地が同じ都市で、並んで、手を取り合って生き生きとしています。

マルディンで見るべき場所

カスィミエ・マドラサ

この都市で最大の教育施設であるマドラサの建設は、アルトゥク朝時代に始まりました。長い間完成しなかったマドラサは、15世紀のアッコユンル時代に完成しました。マドラサ内の噴水は神秘主義の哲学に基づいて作られました。水の流れと共に、人間の人生が誕生から死後まで描かれています。噂によると、マドラサを完成させたカスィム・パシャは、この場所の庭で殺されました。彼の姉妹もまた悲しみに打ちひしがれ、マドラサの壁に彼の血まみれのシャツを叩きつけました。壁の暗赤色の染みはその日のものだと言われています。

ジンギリエ(スルタン・イサ)マドラサ

ジンギリエ・マドラサは、1385年に最後のアルトゥク朝スルタン、メリク・ネジェッティン・イサ・ビン・ムザッフェル・ダウド・ビン・エル・メリクによって建設されました。観測所として使用されることを考えて、高い場所に建てられました。スルタンと二つのドームの間に張られた鎖の両方からその名前が来ています。

マルディンの家々

マルディンは独特の家々を持つ都市です。北シリア風と称される、黄色の石灰岩で作られ、漆喰材を使用せず、メソポタミア平原に開くドアの後ろで互いの影が落ちないように配置された家々は、外側も内側もレースのように装飾され、優雅な石工の最も美しい例を示しています。

デイルルザファラン修道院

デイルルザファラン修道院の歴史は紀元前4000年まで遡ります。この場所は最初に太陽を崇拝するアッシリア人によって寺院として建てられました。その後、ローマ人がこの構造に追加しました。修道院はステップの中央にそびえる中世の構造に似ています。修道院での僧侶や学生の生活は数百年前と同じように続いています。一度はサフランの色だった石の壁は、今ではそれらに浸透した塵土によって色が変わっています。これらの山々に数百年前にサフランの花が咲いていたため、サフランと呼ばれています。デイルルザファランが建設されていた時、その壁に色を付けるためにその漆喰にサフランの花が使用されました。修道院はその建設に使用されたサフランの花からその名前を得ています。
