Kastamonu Essentials

Kastamonu's architectural landscape is defined by its 12th-century hilltop fortress and well-preserved Ottoman civil architecture. This selection covers the city's significant religious complexes, such as the 16th-century Şeyh Şaban-ı Veli Külliyesi, and historic commercial structures like the 15th-century Kurşunlu Han caravanserai. Visitors can explore the 19th-century Liva Paşa Mansion and the 1273 Atabeygazi Mosque, which represent the transition from the Seljuk to the Ottoman era.
