Tur Abdin: Mor Cyriacus church, view from east (Bell Arch.M202 NcU)

This 1911 photo by Gertrude Bell was taken from the east side of Mor Cyriacus Church at Arnas in Tur Abdin in southeast Turkey. The image shows an arched portal leading into the remains of one of the rooms attached to the church.
Mor Cyriacus is one of a number of Syriac Christian churches dating from the 4th-6th century AD. Many have unique architectural features combining Late Roman building methods with Byzantine elements.
Gertrude Bell first reported these sites in detail in 1909, documenting them with photography and extensive notes and maps. The Gertrude Bell Archive is at Newcastle University in England.
