Batman(The House Of Oil)
The story of Batman does not date back to ancient history. Batman was a small village namely İluh in 1930s, which started to develop rapidly when petroleum started to be extracted in Batman for the first time in Turkey, and it became a city in 1990. In other words, Batman was reborn with petroleum. It is possible to see iron horses (Oil Rigs) everywhere including mountains, lowlands and waysides in Raman where more than 450 oil wells are available.
Although Batman city center is a new settlement, it is known to include settlements nearby since prehistoric eras. İluh Village where Batman was firstly established, is actually a hill town. It is possible to find ten thousand years of history of the region in Kuriki Hill Town throughout İluh, Hallan Çemi and Garzan and in Sumaki Hill Town, Gre Amer and various hill towns and in Hasankeyf Hill Town.
Protecting the rich historical background in the soils where Tigris flows, and Hasankeyf which comes to mind, Batman is a natural beauty with its thousands of caves and historical monuments. İçkale, Tomb of Zeynel Bey, Sason Canyon, Mor Kiryakus Monastery and Batman Museum are unique historical and cultural values that are waiting to be discovered.
With delicious food and many of the historical assets primarily Hasankeyf which it hosts, hospitable residents and the modern city center alongside which a thousand years of history to find, Batman awaits more visitors.
POINTS OF INTEREST IN BATMAN
Here we are in Batman… In the homeland of Mervanis, Artuqids Ayyubids and Akkoyunlus. In a fertile land thanks to the Tigris, known for its monasteries, canyons and castles, reserving historical, cultural and natural beauties...
Hasankeyf springs to mind when it comes to Batman. As an old city engraved onto stones, Hasankeyf historicises itself as if it engraved all the glamour of Mesopotamia onto its worn body.
Hasankeyf stands the seal of the past, affixed on the heart of Mesopotamia...
Should there be any place worthy for a title of “the place where time stops”,
that place should be definitely Hasankeyf...
İçkale, Tomb of Zeynel Bey, Sason Canyon, Mor Kiryakus Monastery, Batman Museum are among the points of interest in Sason, the northernmost reach of the Arabic language.
But you should definitely have a look at the magnificent beauty of Mesopotamia with a hot cup of tea in Hasankeyf. You will feel the ‘time actually stop.'
