view map

Some shots of or taken from the Gümüşlü Cami (Silvery Mosque), dating from 1326 it was the earliest Ottoman mosque in Amasya, however, 1491 they rebuilt it after an earthquake, 1612 after a fire, 1688 for no reason the Loinely Planet guide which I quote gives, then they extended it in 1903 and restored it in 1988. Views from here are nice.

On the picture: The medieval castle of Amasya stands on the ridge of a high rock behind the city, some 300 m above it.
