The Hevsel Gardens (Kurdish: Baxçeyên Hewselê), are the seven hundred hectares of cultivated, fertile lands near the Tigris in eastern Turkey, between the Diyarbakır Fortress and the river. The fortified city was enclosed by a two-part system of defensive walls, and the gardens, fed by springs on the steep slope below, played a vital role in keeping the city provisioned and watered. The gardens were added to the UNESCO tentative list in 2013,[1] and they became a World Heritage Site in 2015, along with the walls of Diyarbakır Fortress.[2]
