The Sanliurfa - Göbekli Tepe 0 Euro Note is a souvenir dedicated to Sanliurfa, often called the “City of Prophets,” and nearby Göbekli Tepe, which together form one of the most fascinating destinations in Turkey, worth visiting for their unmatched blend of spirituality, history, and culture. This region offers travelers a journey to the very roots of human civilization.

In Şanlıurfa, visitors can explore a city steeped in legend and faith. Believed to be the birthplace of the Prophet Abraham, it is home to sacred sites such as the Pool of Sacred Fish and historic mosques that attract pilgrims from around the world. The bustling bazaars, traditional cuisine, and warm hospitality also make the city itself an unforgettable cultural experience.

Just a short distance away lies Göbekli Tepe, the world’s oldest known temple complex, dating back over 11,000 years—thousands of years before Stonehenge or the Egyptian pyramids. Visitors can expect to see massive T-shaped stone pillars arranged in circles, many carved with intricate animal figures and symbols. This archaeological wonder has revolutionized our understanding of early human societies, suggesting that organized religion and monumental architecture existed far earlier than previously believed.

What fascinates tourists most is the sheer mystery and significance of Göbekli Tepe. Standing among the ancient stones, visitors feel a powerful connection to humanity’s distant past, while in Şanlıurfa they experience a living city of faith and tradition. The combination of these sites makes the region not just a travel destination but a profound journey through time, where ancient spirituality and living culture meet in one of the world’s most extraordinary places.
