Gülbahar Hatun Mosque
Gülbahar Hatun Camii
A 16th-century mosque built by Sultan Selim I for his mother, with the queen mother's tomb and a small park alongside.
Gülbahar Hatun Mosque was built in 1514 by Selim I, then governor of Trabzon and later sultan, for his mother Gülbahar Hatun. It is the most important early Ottoman building in Trabzon. The mosque has a porch and a single minaret, and beside it an octagonal mausoleum holds the queen mother's remains. Located outside the western city walls of the old town, it is close to the birthplace of Suleiman the Magnificent. It can be visited together with the Walls of Trabzon & Zağnos Valley and Hagia Sophia. Dress modestly when visiting.
