Midyat City Museum (Estel Han)

Its story

The Estel Han is in the Ulu Cami neighborhood, in the Estel part of Midyat. As it has no construction inscription, its construction date is unknown. The building, belonging to the group of U-plan, single-courtyard, three-story hans, has a basement carved into the rock; the spaces are barrel-vaulted inside and flat-roofed outside, and window openings of different shapes appear on the facades. Faithfully restored by the Midyat Municipality in 2021, the han is visited today as a city museum displaying works that tell of Midyat's daily life, crafts and culture. The surrounding Estel streets have also recently been rehabilitated.
