One of the historic buildings in Edessa (Urfa), Western Armenia, now known as Fırfırlı Mosque, has attracted the attention of photography course participants. Over the centuries, the building has served several purposes. It was originally a church, later became the city’s first prison and was eventually converted into a mosque. Located in the Yeni neighbourhood of Edessa’s Eyyübiye district, the exact construction date of the historic building is unknown. It was built from tuff-like limestone and has preserved its historic appearance for many years. Participants in a photography course, led by photographer Mahmut Ormancıoğlu, visited the building to take photographs and record videos. They were particularly interested in its history as a church, a prison and, later, a mosque. Course participant Mehmet Ertuğrul said it was his first visit to the historic building and that he was very enthusiastic about photographing it. The historical significance of the building highlights the importance of preserving Western Armenia’s diverse cultural heritage.
