Today it’s hard to understand that Harran was a very important city till the 12th century. All that remembers you of this once very wealthy city are the ruins of a big mosk, it’s university and it’s castle. Harran is known from biblical times as the place Abraham left before going to Canaan. Now it’s known for the special type of houses in beehive style. A building style also found in the nearby province of Alleppo in Syria.
