Trabzon
A city that has witnessed a historical process of thousands of years can be successful in leaving a mark in the history of civilisation and in maintaining its presence only to the extent that it carries over its manmade riches to the present day.
Trabzon is one of such rare cities both in Turkey and in the world. The history of the city, which was first founded on top of a height between Zaganos and Tabakhane valleys, can easily be seen in its walls – first built by the founders of the city and later extended by the Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans by new annexes and restorations – monasteries, mosques, bridges and tombs.
