Harput Houses

Harput is a medieval city. Was established in rocky areas. Winter is the city. Life is tough conditions. Due to the high altitude that was established in all cities north, south, is exposed to air currents. The land is sloping. Residential areas is limited.

Despite these disadvantages were based on all the difficulties with Harput Harput not leave then. Harput 21 with the land Until the beginning of the century to protect and sustain life has been. Harput, who came to the Harput who sees this has been a fan of the city. Because Harput residents of settlements, restricted, sloping the land so houses founded that the narrow streets, which include ground beads such order sequences, the sky high houses, this charming town, visit those astounded has left. Harput geography has shaped their homes. Houses are generally cheaper construction materials as mud, window and door edges chipped limestone yapılmıştır.Sınırlıda though completely stone masonry walls of the houses stating stone wall masonry houses are usually river stones yapılmıştır.Evlerin carrier serves as the central walls of resistance and provide an aesthetic appearance to provide is still used for carving stone. To increase the strength of these chipped stone wall next to the wall of the square and is the most important factor in determining the direction. Some of these chipped stone Harput'da regret to state that it also has been used on mekanlerdan dismantled. Stone and wood as building material because they are expensive tools.

Harput the foundations of homes, according to the slope of the land was formed. Because it is not possible to dig up the rock slope of the land according to the true foundation level in order to win in these areas were built and which rooms were used as cellars or barns. Basic lime, gypsum mortar was used heavily. Often used in foundation stones, these stones also represent the building's water was basmanını. The emphasis is on the walls of the building stones of the stream. Harput of timber and stone houses olmasıda içiliğinin difficult to transport, as well as to shape is a major factor.

Through large openings in their homes in Harput belt system is usually applied. In this system foundation stone arches that cellar, barn and storage area has led to create. On the floor of the house made it through the stone arches of large openings in the walls as an advantage of increased strength. Evlerlerin vital part in the late openings of the arches were made of wood that still do this practice of planting large openings from the aesthetic to the road passing through the openings have been providing. The wooden arch make the move away from the weight of the upper floors of an application made lighter, leading to poor image applications, such as planting was avoided. Harput in their homes, especially in upper floors of the house and call this technique it is possible to encounter the wall. Harput home applications, especially in the inner wall thickness 15-20cm in thickness are found on the skeleton is completely wooden, and plaster walls done in a technical view, given the limited range of wall and structural features found'll applications. Based on this technique will also reduce load on vital parts, creating a structure against earthquake slightly more flexible, and most importantly, to save space in the building design has led to the increase of freedom.

Harput home in the basis for the use of vaults kullanılmamıştır.Yapım Although this technique is technically difficult and cost more than the application instead of the vault will have the belt system was preferred in general. Harput to ensure the integrity and the walls in their homes during an earthquake along the walls of his house as a whole to act in order to provide wooden beams have been used at home. This solution was brought against the horizontal forces at the same time, doors, window well, such as walk-in closet as an indispensable element of the structural Harput house that has helped in the creation of voids within the wall. Harput material timber is an expensive city in the winter because of the need to protect the wood Harput also limited in front of the house is used. Though the strength of wood across the water to increase humidity tar, varnish and various oils, if used on protective derivatives are preferred. The wooden floors and ceilings in homes Harput use and to provide thermal insulation in between the branches, leaves, stems and equipment used. With this technique Harput s geography is opposite in understanding how to use existing facilities at hand is a good example.

Harput homes sadedir.Fakat room in the house greeting the host strain usually means within each painstakingly made. Ceilings in the house, be taken to the basement floor ceiling height arttrılarak various embroidery, decorations were made. Harput in their homes the traditional Turkish architectural influences in shaping the geography of the house, although the possibility that the land could be performed within its own unique designs and solutions accordingly. House windows are quite small in size. In this way, the long winter nights at home in the heat protection sağlanmıştır.Kışlık rooms, the windows are smaller. Which is open to the outside of the house rooms when greeting guests in the room is welcome. The link between the streets of this room in the house was founded odalardır.İşte so instead of building dominates the street scene as well to get out of this room is usually şahnişinli. Harput out of this house before and want to improve relations with the outside of the window and the window size as the number is greater. In this window, facing outward to protect the privacy of his home kutsalığına and usually made of mesh or louvre windows. Used in the wood shutters usually come in the house is used. If the house warm in the oven, chair, barbecue is like the method used. In some houses are used for heating tandir. Houses are roofed. Harput, including the construction of the roof clay, silt density is a heavily used land. This clay was brought in Harput's vineyards and gardens. This ground each fall by the roof and wall plaster has been maintained. So that the water against the roof insulation is made of.

Harput no drips, but not in the house from the roof of an adjacent alanlardır.Bu areas typically have special protection. Harput channel this type of roof was asleep, as their winter food supplies are areas that are drying. Due to the geographical conditions of feeding and sheltering Harput of the best examples of how that is shaping Harput houses. Harput unsuitable for agriculture, in hamlets, Göllübağ and cypress groves in areas more suitable for agriculture such as vegetables and fruits produced by drying methods could hide. Harput the geography and climate in shaping the kitchen is the determining factor. Of meat roasting method salted, stored, tandoor bread, bread pier in storage, Orci, keep the yogurt dried crust making and in the winter dilute the buttermilk to make, tomatoes, peppers, parsley, aubergine fruits dried gah be done and so all the food establishment because the climate and geography is. Elazig winter fruits and vegetables rich in these cultures also know that today is still under preparation to winter kurtmalıklar done. Elazig is it tastes. Elazig is still continuing and the people of this culture of drying, making jams and tomato paste and sun-dries the palate is that's why. Harput homes will be worth to be examined from every angle is of a structure. Sort of home sizes and interior design is striking in the analysis. Harput flour is still possible to revive. Elazig people can achieve this. When we Harput Harput a 'survival hopes by reconstruction of u, hope life continues despite all negativities. Harput towards the restoration of historical structure that should make the front of the opening. I worked very, very parable antmaya Harput homes. Their household, gusülhane of warming their heads, haremlik, greeting the courtyard.

Harput : Virgin Mary Church

In every period of history of civilization in Anatolia, established the great importance of the meeting of civilizations, a city of nearly Harput been in the position. For years, Muslims, Armenians and Assyrians living in Harput intertwined cultural interaction that has so much culture in Harput Harput have contributed to a culture that has added so much to the cultures of nations. Five hundred thousand of population in the last period of Ottoman expressed Harput Mahmut II, moved to its present location of Elazig quickly began to lose ground. Rapidly losing population while the remaining work in the city and houses began to collapse under the influence in squalor. Today, cultural interaction there to be seen is still possible, Urartulardan the Castle, the Empire period remaining from the mosques, Assyrian churches, baths and tombs with the city deserted, though history traces to live can accomplish Harput, cultural heritage is one of our time, nature and human destruction, despite the presence to maintain succeeded the city one of Our is one.

Harput then in an article or a pale describe is not possible, sometimes around inside of you taking a day a few days may strike, such as one of the different historical and cultural monuments to yourself, I wonder on what time I am asking you to can cause.

This works Harput Syriac church in the eastern part of the castle during a neighborhood located in the upper part of which has been under Syrian neighborhood. From the neighborhood, but today only ruins of a small bath and could succeed in reaching the church. Without the signs were there, or do not know the church does not really draw your attention to the church to the castle when Dabakhane water in just the right way down the stairs are marble. Located at the top of the stairs in her mouth an olive branch symbolizes peace and friendship and the three dove motif is the first step to our attention. Mr. Tanoğlu by this motif, especially once you placed a picture of the communities living in Harput seems, is the first step to go to church. The stairs are very wide of an area. The monastery, once a part of the church was empty today metropolithane, schools, guesthouses and other parts if included.



Baüth me was known as a monastery church. In 179 AD the church was built 1830 years old today and are still open for worship during certain periods. Today, the church has no official permission, and no visitors are turned off at the entrance. Foundation President Dr. Elazig Syrian Church. Dear daughter of Isaac and Maria Tanoğlu'nun Tanoğlu accompanied us to church and had the opportunity to. Assyrians living in Elazig is on the church to worship because of Elazig Mental and Nervous Diseases Hospital were going to perform well in the small church. Harput repaired many times in history in the city center, passing the church moved to its present and historical artifacts such as Elazig neglect and apathy have taken very busy. Repair through a few times since that date, if not carry many of the features in the present case. The church in 1999 and last repaired in 2000, a ceremony was held. Since then have been organized every year in August, the month began.

Before the main gate entrance to the church apparently was added later from a small door is provided. When we entered the narrow door, leaning against the inside of ancient buildings that impressed us not getting out. Sign of a grave belonging to the daughter of the king immediately karsısında Harput is located. Quite simply in the ground around the tomb of the particular case to be translated. The upper flat with high ceilings built. While some ground on the new portion of the wall traces of destruction has come to our attention. Mr. accompanying us they had made new walls Tanoğlu ground next summer if the amendment said they would grow up. According to the wall opposite our entrance and the wall rocks to the west and the east-west direction of the church was built in the rectangular apse of the church's east side in front with a half-dome was built. The right of the apse, where the front entrance in Syriac "Goğulto" (cilcile) called on the Bible and the Bible stand is located. Gude right and left parts of the two groups are located. The third section of the prayer. Oturmalık plastic chairs in the prayer has not completed yet being used.

Mr. Tanoğlun'dan to hear that the church consists of three parts if a special meaning. Madepho (mihrab) section per person, group of (Gude), two hands, hayklo part is, if people express their chest and legs. How do religious leaders in the church altar in the initial routes in mind that the sacrament of the human life of the church directs bölümleine installed such a special meaning. Another noteworthy point in the Syriac church in the Church we are accustomed to took the podium in front of madebho section during the opening and closing ceremonies of the lack of curtains. (I think it is not open for worship)



All of the religious themes in the wall is destroyed over time was not able to find the original icons but destroyed the original location of icons on the table or wall carpeting Hz. Christ's crucifixion, sacred food, Hz. Christ's ascension into the sky, the baptism, resurrection after death, Christianity, the many religious subjects, such as processed.

The west wall of the church was built entirely in stone fortress has been under in connection with. Assyrian church named Church on Assyrians in Anatolia is the third largest church.

Church could survive until today one of the most important ancient church and not just our country is one of the world's most important cultural heritage.
