See the conical beehive houses in Harran
Harran · Şanlıurfa · Türkiye
The domes of Harran’s beehive houses reused bricks collected from the ancient ruins. The surviving houses are much younger than the millennia-old town; their domes rise through brick courses that step inward. In a house open to visitors, ask permission to examine and photograph the dome narrowing overhead.
