Mosques & Shrines

Trabzon’s religious landscape is defined by its transition from a Byzantine stronghold to an Ottoman imperial city. This collection highlights significant sites like the 13th-century Hagia Sophia and the Ortahisar Fatih Grand Mosque, both former churches showcasing Christian frescoes alongside Islamic modifications. It also includes the 16th-century Gülbahar Hatun complex, built by Sultan Selim I for his mother, and the centrally located Iskender Paşa Mosque. These structures represent the city's architectural layers, from Byzantine masonry to classical Ottoman dome construction.
