Balıklıgöl, the Pool of Sacred Fish, is a pair of ponds below Urfa Castle where, according to tradition, Abraham was thrown into a fire that turned to water. The carp in the pond are fed and not caught, and the surrounding gardens, mosques and a cave said to be Abraham’s birthplace draw many pilgrims. The bazaar nearby is lively, with copper, spices and sweets.
