Hasankeyf is rich in history throughout the ages. The main archaeological highlight of Hasankeyf is the citadel on the very top of the town, overlooking the river. Considering how extensive these ruins are, an entire day or two could easily be spent exploring.
The grand days of Hasankeyf are long gone, so most sights are in a state of disrepair, or even partially ruined which is made worse as the much needed funds for renovation are blocked due to the dam project, although all are intactâand beautifulâenough as to allow you to imagine what they were like back in the day.
