Sultan Bayezid II Mosque Complex
Sultan II. Bayezid Külliyesi
A riverside Ottoman mosque complex completed in 1486. Its courtyard shaded by centuries-old plane trees and its twin minarets make it a landmark of the city's south bank.
The Sultan Bayezid II Mosque Complex was built between 1485 and 1486, when Amasya was the "City of Princes" where Ottoman princes gained experience of government. Bayezid II himself later served here as governor. The complex includes the main mosque, a madrasa, a soup kitchen and a fountain. Its twin minarets stand by the river, and the courtyard has plane trees several centuries old. The madrasa now houses a manuscript library. Admission is free. Avoid visiting during prayer times, and women should cover their heads.
