Afrin Aqueduct (Bağarası Village)

Afrin Aqueduct is a historic water structure northwest of Bağarası village, formerly known as Cengin, in the Polateli district of Kilis. Located in a narrow valley opening towards the Afrin River, the surviving two-tier aqueduct is thought most likely to date to the Roman period. Built from dressed stone, the structure has surrounding remains indicating that it once extended farther along the valley. However, the original starting and ending points of the water supply system have not been conclusively identified. For those interested in ancient engineering and the rural heritage of Kilis, Afrin Aqueduct represents a distinctive archaeological landmark.

Commissioned in 1553 by Canbolat Bey, the governor of Kilis, it forms the central building of the Canbolat Pasha complex. Also known as Canbolad or Canboladoğlu Mosque, it is a notable example of Ottoman architecture in the city. A large dome measuring 14.40 metres in diameter covers the square prayer hall, complemented by a five-arched entrance portico and a spacious courtyard. The coloured marble mihrab and minbar feature intricate floral and geometric decoration. Tiles above the windows and decorative stonework on the minaret add further architectural interest. Tekke Mosque is a significant stop for visitors exploring historic mosques and cultural heritage in Kilis.
