Diyarbakır Province, Administrative province in southeastern Turkey.

Diyarbakır Province spans across 15,355 square kilometers of land, bordered by eight other provinces including Malatya, Batman, and Şanlıurfa.

The region experienced governance under multiple civilizations, from ancient Akkadians and Hurrians to Romans and Seljuks, leaving substantial archaeological remains.

The province maintains a population of 1.8 million people who primarily communicate in Turkish and Kurmanji, reflecting the regional demographic composition.

The province contains seventeen districts including Bismil, Ergani, and Sur, with Diyarbakır city functioning as the administrative center.

The 1975 earthquake led to the complete relocation of Lice town two kilometers south of its original position.
