A day in Trabzon: Ortahisar

A walk that begins at Hagia Sophia, a 13th-century building known for its frescoes, and continues into the old town within the walls: the Gülbahar Hatun Mosque and Tomb, the Ortahisar Fatih Büyük Mosque, converted from the old church where the Komnenos emperors were crowned, the six-arched Tabakhane Bridge, the Çarşı Mosque in the middle of the historic bazaar and the Trabzon Museum in the Kostaki Mansion.
