The Great Mosques of Mardin and Silvan were possibly but in any case considerably developed over the 12th century by several Artuklu rulers on the basis of existing Seljuq edifices.
La moschea congregazionale di Dunaysir (oggi Kızıltepe) fu commissionata da bey artuqide Yülük Arslan (1184–1203) e completata dopo la sua morte nel 1204 da suo fratello Artuk Arslan (1203 – 1239).
