Diyarbakir is a large city in south-eastern Turkey on the banks of the Tigris River. Settlement dates back to the Hurrian Kingdom, and was first recorded in text ca. 1300 BCE by the Assyrians, who identify it as the capital of the Aramean Kingdom. The Romans colonized the area in 66 BCE, and the city was renamed Amida. The first city walls were constructed in 297 CE. Persians captured Amida after a lengthy siege in 359 CE. Under the Persians, Amida became a Syriac Christian bishopric, eventually becoming a See of the Armenian Christians. The city was particularly well known for its craftwork, namely glass and metalwork.
The Great Mosque of Diyarbakir, built by the Seljuks in the 11th century is one of the oldest in Turkey. There are several other notable mosques dating from the 16th–18th century.
