Fõrfõrlõ Cami (Mosque), the former Armenian-Protestant Fõrfõrlõ Church dating from the 11th century. Fõrfõrlõ is a nickname, used because of the sound of the whispering wind here. The original name was Church of the 12 Apostles. It must have been a big complex and still has a nice court. Many details both inside and outside were added in the 1956 restauration to turn the church into a mosque.ÊSanlõurfa, Turkey, 03/08/2020
