This selection highlights the city's architectural layers, from the 13th-century spiral minaret of Burmalı Minare Camii to the 15th-century Sultan II. Beyazıt complex. Explore 19th-century Ottoman residential life at Hazeranlar Konağı, the medical history of the Ilkhanid Bimarhane, and the site where the 1919 Amasya Circular launched the Turkish War of Independence.
