Siirt

Siirt sits nestled between the valleys of the Botan River and mountain villages. The city is known for its pistachios, blankets, and mohair; Siirt blankets are woven on looms, most often by women craftspeople.

On certain days of the year at Tillo, sunlight passes through a window and falls upon the mausoleum—a light phenomenon calculated centuries ago. This city approaches both mathematics and craft with patience.
