Artuklu Dönemi mimari örneklerinden, dilimli kubbesi ve minaresiyle Mardin’in sembolü olan Mardin Ulu Cami kayıtlara göre iki minareli inşa edilmiştir. Caminin bugün mevcut olan tek minaresinin kare kaidesindeki yazıt, yapım tarihini 1176 olarak vermektedir, fakat bugünkü minare 1888/1889 yıllarında yeni ve elektik bir üslupla yapılmıştır. Bazı Süryani yazarlar kiliseden çevrildiğini söylerler. Yapı kiliseden çevrilmemiş olsa bile, yerinde eski bir kilisenin bulunması muhtemeldir.
