Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5829898. Authority coordinates are 36.153, 49.377. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
