Some sections of the walls of 2,200-year-old Gaziantep Castle in Gaziantep province collapsed after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake shook the region.
Apart from the castle, the 800-year-old Battalgazi Grand Mosque in Türkiye’s eastern Elazig province was among the structures that were damaged by the deadly tremors.
The dome and eastern wall of the historical Sirvani Mosque situated next to the castle and said to have been built in the 17th century partially collapsed.
