Trabzon Essentials

Trabzon’s history is anchored by the 4th-century Sümela Monastery, carved into the cliffs of Altındere Valley, and the 13th-century Hagia Sophia, a former Byzantine church featuring intricate frescoes. The city's landscape includes the landslide-dammed lake of Uzungöl and the panoramic Boztepe hill. Architectural heritage extends to the 18th-century Alacahan caravanserai and the Genoese-built Guzelhisar Castle. Modern landmarks like the Medical Park Stadium sit alongside the cliffside Panagia Theoskepastos Monastery, highlighting the region's transition from a medieval empire to a contemporary Black Sea hub.
