Trabzon (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈtɾɑbzon]), historically known as Trebizond (in Ancient Greek: Τραπεζοῦς Trapezous) is a city on the Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey and the capital of Trabzon Province. Trabzon, located on the historical Silk Road, became a melting pot of religions, languages and culture for centuries and a trade gateway to Persia in the southeast and the Caucasus to the northeast. The Venetian and Genoese merchants paid visits to Trebizond during the medieval period and sold silk, linen and woolen fabric; the Republic of Genoa had an important merchant colony within the city called Leonkastron that played a role to Trebizond similar to the one Galata played to Constantinople (modern Istanbul). Trabzon formed the basis of several states in its long history and was the capital city of the Empire of Trebizond between 1204 and 1461. During the early modern period, Trabzon, because of the importance of its port, again became a focal point of trade to Persia and the Caucasus.

Trabzon Hagia Sophia Museum

Reviewed By emilyroseUK - Istanbul, Turkey

Aya Sofia is currently closed for renovation, as are most sights in Trabzon, such as the museum and Sumela monastery. However it is still worth a visit because you can walk around the outside and take in this amazing sight. The cafe is also a nice place to relax and see the view Hopefully I can return to see the inside in the future.

Located on a cobbled stone pedestrian shopping treet in the old town of Trabzon near one of the best spice shops in the country, this beautiful church stands untouched by the centuries as beautiful as ever in all its stone magnificence. Highly recommended. Later shop the beautiful boutiques, sweet and spice shops in the Old Town surrounding.

Reviewed By colonial23 - County Galway, Ireland

The fortresses and castle in Trabzon are unbelievably gorgeous. The Ottoman were the best architects by far. It is so amazing to just be driving along and suddenly spot an amazing fortress or castle like this one. Turkey is like that there is natural beauty everywhere and stunning architectural works as well!
