Three historic buildings side by side along the Yeşilırmak River (from left to right):
the Yıldız Hamamı (‘Star bath house’), also called ‘Hatuniye Hamamı’, (re)built in 1510:
the Hatuniye Cami (Mosque of Hatun), built together with the hamam (1510), on behalf of Bülbül Hatun, a wife of sultan Beyazıt II and the mother of Şehzade (Prince) Ahmet;
the Hazeranlar Konağı, a large residence from 1865 and open to the public as a 19th century ethnography museum.
