Harran and its beehive houses
The ancient village of Harran, near the border with Syria, is famous for the architecture of its adobe "beehive" houses, which use virtually no wood or other supports and whose design favourably regulates the temperature. Villages still lived in the houses in the lkate 20th century but they have now been abandoned (villagers live nearby in modern structures) and the site is now an archaeological site for tourists and visitors.
