Wallpaper Description:

Harran is situated 44 km. southeast of Sanliurfa.
The number one tourist attraction in Harran are the curious houses in the shape of a cone, and these are what first come to mind when the name of Harran is mentioned. The architectural fabric made up by these homes is unique in the world. The houses have been built by the villagers using bricks collected from the Harran ruins, and have the shape of a conical hat resting on a square. Inside, two cones will be joined by an archway, and the result is a very livable spaciousness. Perfectly suited to the climate of the region, the houses provide cool shelter in the torrid Harran summer.
