Amasya Sights

  1. Amasya Museum

    The Amasya Museum is well worth a visit. Notable exhibits include the famous Statuette of Amasya, a bronze figure of the Hittite god Teshub, with pointed cap and huge almond-shaped eyes; wooden doors taken from the Gök Medrese Camii, showing the progression between Seljuk and Ottoman carving; and displays on Ottoman crafts such as rope-making. English signage is good throughout.

  2. Hazeranlar Konağı

    Just past the steps up to the Pontic Tombs is the Hazeranlar Konağı, constructed in 1865 and restored in 1979. The restored rooms are fully furnished in period style and have models to illustrate their use. Whether you'll enjoy the Directorate of Fine Arts gallery in the basement probably depends on what's showing (historical photos at time of research).
