The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5821296. Authority coordinates are 33.664, 48.560. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
