Kilis is a city in southernmost Turkey, near the border with Syria, and the administrative centre of Kilis Province. On 6 February 2023 Kilis was badly affected by the twin Turkey-Syria earthquakes. Although there aren't any definite information related to its foundation, today's Kilis mainly developed and became urbanized during the Ottoman period. However, traces of important cities found in the near surroundings of Kilis and the historical documents prove that important centres were always present here in every period. In the tablets belonging to the Assyrian period, the name 'Ki-li-zi' is written in cuneiform and a city named as "Ciliza Sive Urnagiganti" during the Roman Empire period is mentioned.
