Mardin Province, Administrative province in southeastern Turkey.

The province spans 8,891 square kilometers across the border between Anatolia and Mesopotamia, encompassing ten districts with diverse geographical features and settlements.

The region transformed from an ancient Syriac Christian territory to a Muslim-controlled area in 640 when commander Iyad ibn Ghanm captured the settlements.

The population includes Kurdish, Turkish, Syrian, Arab, Armenian, and Chechen communities, each maintaining their distinct languages, traditions, and religious practices.

The province maintains communication infrastructure through the 47xxx postal code system and the 0482 telephone prefix for all municipal and administrative services.

The Syrian Orthodox Monastery of Mor Hananyo stands 4 kilometers from Mardin city, representing centuries of religious architectural development in the region.
