On the ancient lands of Hasankeyf, stretching along the banks of the Tigris River, the Baldeken Tombs are a revered site that has hosted the distinguished figures of the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Exemplifying the cultural richness of this region, which has been the gateway to Mesopotamia throughout history, these tombs reflect the architectural understanding of their era with their dry stone masonry and structures adorned with geometric motifs. The region's geographic position and the abundance of its water sources have drawn many civilizations here over the centuries. Hasankeyf's archaeological wealth has also been recognized by UNESCO; excavations in the area have identified cultural layers stretching from the Paleolithic period to the present day. During your visit, by taking advantage of the natural scenery around the tombs and the cool breeze from the river, you can follow the traces of past civilizations.
