Tema (2025):"Şanlıurfa: Her Adımda Bir Yüzyıl, Her Yüzyılda Bir Sır"
Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nde yer alan Şanlıurfa, her adımının tarih, her sokağının efsane olduğu bir şehirdir. Güneydoğu'nun kalbinde yer alan bu antik kent, zamanın katmanlarını kendi üzerinde taşıyarak her dönemde ziyaretçilerine farklı bir yüz gösterir. Peygamberler Şehri olarak bilinen Urfa, yüzyıllardır inanç, kültür ve hoşgörünün iç içe geçtiği bir merkez olmuştur. Hz. İbrahim'in ateşe atıldığı yer olduğuna inanılan Balıklıgöl'de dolaşırken sadece taşlara değil, efsanelere, dualara ve umuda da dokunursunuz.
Ancak Urfa sadece geçmişin izlerinden ibaret değil; aynı zamanda bugün yaşayan, nefes alan bir kültür mozaiğidir. Çarşılarında baharat, deri ve bakır kokularını duyarsınız; "sıra geceleri"nde cümbüşün ezgilerini, "hoyrat"ın yürekten tınılarını duyarsınız; Mutfağında Isot'un ateşli dilini ve ızgara ciğerin zengin lezzetini tadarsınız. Bütün bunlar Urfa'nın farklı yüzleri ve sayısız ruh hali.
İnsanlık tarihini yeniden yazan bir tapınak olan Göbeklitepe'nin gölgesinde yükselen bu şehir, hem başlangıçların hem de sonsuzlukların beşiğidir. Sular altında kalan sessiz kasaba Halfeti, bilgelik ve inanç şehri Harran'ın yanı sıra Şanlıurfa, her medeniyetin iz bıraktığı, her izin bir hikaye barındırdığı bir yer. Geçmiş ve gelecek burada yan yana duruyor. Urfa aynı anda hem mistik hem de canlıdır; sessiz ama melodilerle dolu. Her mevsim yeni bir renk sunar; her adımda yeni bir hikaye.
İşte bu yüzden "Şanlıurfa: Her Adımda Bir Yüzyıl, Her Yüzyılda Bir Sır" çok yerinde. Ve her bir yüzüyle sizi kendi hikayesinin bir parçası haline getiriyor.

Göbeklitepe: Tarihin Sıfır Noktası:Şanlıurfa'nın 15 km kuzeydoğusunda, Örencik köyü yakınlarında yer alan Göbeklitepe, 1995 yılında Prof. Dr. Klaus Schmidt başkanlığında başlayan kazılarda ortaya çıkarıldı. MÖ 9600 yıllarına tarihlenen bu anıtsal tapınak kompleksi, bilinen en eski ibadet yeridir ve insanlık tarihine ilişkin tüm geleneksel anlayışı alt üst etmiştir. Hayvan kabartmalarıyla oyulmuş "T" şeklindeki sütunları, inanç sistemlerinin tarım tam olarak başlamadan önce bile var olduğunu gösteriyor. UNESCO Dünya Mirası Listesi'nde yer alan bu kutsal alan, sadece Şanlıurfa'nın geçmişine değil, aynı zamanda insanlığın kolektif hafızasına da ışık tutmaktadır.

Balıklıgöl: İnancın Sessiz Tanığı:Urfa'nın en ikonik yerlerinden biri olan Balıklıgöl, kutsal statüsünü Hz. İbrahim'in Kral Nemrut tarafından ateşe atıldığı ve Allah'ın emriyle alevlerin suya, yanan kütüklerin ise balığa dönüştüğü inancından almıştır. Havuzda yaşayan sazanlar kutsal kabul edilir ve yakalanamaz. Halil-ür Rahman Camii, Rızvaniye Camii ve Hz. İbrahim'in doğum yeri olduğuna inanılan mağara ile birlikte Balıklıgöl, hem İslam dünyası hem de inanç turizmi açısından büyük önem taşıyor. Burada ziyaretçiler sadece tarihi değil, aynı zamanda duayı, huzuru ve maneviyatı da bulurlar.

https://turkiyeturizmansiklopedisi.com/balikligol:UNESCO Müzik Şehri – Şanlıurfa:Yerel olarak "sıra gezmek" olarak bilinen "Sıra Geceleri", Şanlıurfa ile derinden ilişkili bir ses, enstrüman ve sohbetin kültürel bir buluşmasıdır. Baştan sona müzik, dostluk ve edebiyatın uyumlu bir karışımıdır. Bu geceler bilgelerin konuştuğu, çırakların dinleyip öğrendiği, şiirin melodiyle buluştuğu gecelerdir. "Sıra gecesi" geleneğinin en ünlü ve sevilen sanatçısı Kazancı Bedih'tir. "Sıra" ("sıra" veya "düzen" anlamına gelir) adı, bu toplantıların sırayla her katılımcının evinde yapılması geleneğinden gelir.

Harran: İlim ve İnanç Şehri:Urfa'nın yaklaşık 44 km güneydoğusunda yer alan Harran, yüzyıllar boyunca Sümerler, Babilliler, Asurlular ve Emeviler gibi uygarlıkların etkisinde kalmış eski bir yerleşim yeridir. Harran Ovası'nın ortasında yükselen şehir, arı kovanı şeklindeki eşsiz evleriyle öne çıkıyor. Dünyanın ilk üniversitelerinden biri burada kurulmuş ve Sabit ibn Kurra gibi İslam bilimlerine önemli katkılarda bulunan alimler bu topraklarda doğmuştur. Pagan zamanlarında şehir aynı zamanda Ay Tanrısı Sin'e adanmış bir tapınağa da ev sahipliği yapıyordu. Harran, geçmişin bilgisini günümüze taşıyan bir açık hava müzesi gibidir.

Halfeti: Suların Altındaki Sessiz Şehir:Fırat Nehri üzerindeki Birecik Barajı'nın suları altında kalan Eski Halfeti, taş evleri, camileri ve minaresiyle "batık şehir" olarak biliniyor. Tekne turları, ziyaretçilere bu batık yerleşimin kalıntılarını görme şansı sunar. Yeni Halfeti daha yüksek bir yere taşınarak yeni bir kasaba yaratıldı. Halfeti'nin eşsiz doğal güzellikleri ve sakin atmosferi, ziyaretçilere zamanın durduğu hissini verir. Mistik cazibesine ek olarak, sadece burada yetişen nadir siyah güller de vardır. Halfeti, dokunaklı bir geçmişi nefes kesici güzellikle birleştiren bir yer.

Urfa Mutfağı: Lezzetin Kültürle Buluştuğu Bir Sofra
Şanlıurfa mutfağı, Mezopotamya'dan gelen kadim lezzetlerin Anadolu yorumudur. İlk akla gelen yemek "çiğ köfte"dir ancak yöresel mutfak repertuarında isot dolması, lebeniye çorbası, borani, "ağzı açık" böreği, tirit, haşhaşlı katmer ve özellikle ızgara ciğer kebabı da yer almaktadır. Baharatlar cömertçe kullanılır ve Urfa'nın isot biberi imza malzemesidir. "sıra geceleri"nde yerel halk bir araya gelerek hem müziği hem de bu lezzetleri paylaşıyor. Bu mutfak sadece yemekten ibaret değil, bir yaşam biçimidir.

Known as the City of the Prophets, Urfa has been a center where faith, culture and tolerance have been intertwined for centuries. Hz. When you walk around Balıklıgöl, which is believed to be the place where Abraham was thrown into the fire, you touch not only the stones, but also the legends, prayers and hope.

This monumental temple complex, which dates back to 9600 BC, is the oldest known place of worship and has overturned all traditional understanding of human history. Its "T"-shaped columns carved with animal reliefs show that their belief system existed even before agriculture fully began. This sacred area, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, sheds light not only on the history of Şanlıurfa but also on the collective memory of humanity.
