Best of Amasya

Amasya’s historical landscape is defined by its position along the Yeşilırmak River and the towering Mount Harşena. This collection highlights the city’s architectural evolution, from the Hellenistic rock tombs of the Pontic kings and the hilltop Amasya Castle to the 19th-century Hazeranlar Mansion. It features the 14th-century Bimarhane, now a medicine museum, and the Saraydüzü Barracks, central to the Turkish War of Independence. These sites showcase the transition from ancient kingdom to Ottoman administrative center and modern republic.
