\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe roots of Shamas Hotel date back approximately 1,600 years. Located in Midyat's old Syriac (Assyrian\/Aramean) neighborhood, the magnificent mansion was built by the H\u0131rm\u0131z Family from Mosul.\n

\nEach stone used in the construction of the mansion was paid for with a gold coin, resulting in a striking structure featuring highly ornate stonework. Between 1915 and 1930, the building was used as a military headquarters.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
