Its story

On the hill at Baruthane there are two Hellenistic tumuli from the period of the Mithridatic dynasty. In excavations carried out in 2004 by Samsun Museum and Istanbul University, a family tomb from the 4th century BC and gold jewelry, ceramic, glass and marble artifacts were unearthed; these finds are displayed in the museum. The hill is reached from the shore by cable car; from the viewing area the city and the Black Sea coast can be seen.
