The castle was built in the heyday of the Pontic kingdom, then the Romans resided there in turn, Danishmenids, Seljuca, Mongolian Ilhanids and Ottomans. The present condition of the fortress is the result of reconstruction from the Byzantine and Turkish times. Only two of the towers date back to the Hellenistic period. The view from the top will reward us with the hardships of climbing or a long walk.

There are a few more attractions on the north side of the river: old ottoman houses, which you can admire at will, walking among the streets below the tombs, Hatuniye Mosque oraz Büyük Kapi Aga Madrasa. Among the historic houses, Hazeranlar Konagi is one of the most interesting (right after going down the hill), which today houses a museum, open from. 8.30 – 11.45, 13.45 – 17.15, introduction: 1 USD. The house was built in 1865 r. for Amasya's chief treasurer, Hasana Talata Efendi, and we will recognize him by this, that it is big and white (it is best seen from the opposite bank of the river). We will come to Hatuniye Camii, going west from Hazeranlar's house, the mosque stands several dozen meters away. The one built in 1509 r. the temple represents the typical, classical ottoman architecture. It was established by the Bulbul Hatun foundation, wife of Bayezid II. The mosque is preceded by a five-part portico, one minaret rises from its side. The prayer hall is divided into two main parts covered with domes. The rooms on the side have low cross vaults. We'll get to the Buyuk Kapi Aga madrassa, going east along the river (above 1 km). On the way, we will pass the clock tower, added in the 19th century. to the 15th century (1414) Madrasah Celebi Mehmeda, son of Bejazid Błyskawica, and an artificial waterfall near the madrassa. Buyuk Kapi Aga Medresesi is located near Kus Kóprusu, is restored and today houses a theological school. You can only look inside then, when the door is just open and if one of the guardians does not drive us away. Medresu was founded in 1488 r. from the Huseyin Aga Foundation, who was the private secretary of Sultan Beyazid II, and in fact he held a far more important position as overseer of the white eunuchs. The building is octagonal with an entrance from the north-east. The courtyard is surrounded by arcades, behind which it is located 20 rooms. They once served as cells for students, nowadays some have been merged, making classes out of them. The main lecture hall is a large dome room.

The rest of the monuments are on the south side of the river. The first is located near Kus Koprusu (left after going from the north) Beyazit Pasa Mosque. The mosque was built in 1419 r. from the Bejazid Pasha Foundation, Grand Vizier during the reign of Sultan Mehmed I.. The temple is preceded by a magnificent five-part portico. We enter through a beautifully carved wooden door. The interior consists of two square domed rooms. On the sides there are several rooms that originally served as shelters for wandering dervishes. They are also covered with domes, but of course smaller.

Walking along the river towards the city, we come across Mehmet Pasa Camii, standing on the left side of Ziya Pasa Bulv. This next Ottoman mosque was built in 1486 r., and built it by Mehmed Pasha, Sehzade Mehmed's teacher, son of Sultan Beiazid II, who learned to rule the state in Amasya. We enter the mosque through a six-part portico, which is unusual for ottoman temples. An even number makes, that there is no central arcade, through which you would go to the portal. This problem was solved in a simple way – the portico extended beyond the facade of the mosque. The entrance leads through the third arcade from the left. The prayer room was built on a square plan, and above it lies a dome. Just like the Beyazit Pasa Camii, so here on the sides are rooms for wandering dervishes. We will recognize them by the fireplaces placed in them (in two rooms out of four). Fifth, the hall, which is identical in plan, was built as a turbe for father Mehmed Pasha. Particular attention should be paid to the artistically carved marble mimber.

We keep going south, on the left we pass the historic hamam z 1436 r., and right behind him we see Darussif-Bimarhane Medresesi, which today houses a music conservatory, where numerous concerts take place. The building was built in the years 1308 – 09 from the foundation of the Sultan Olcaytu, rulers of the Mongolian Ilhan dynasty. It is the only monument left in the city, when Ilhanowic ruled Amasya. Olcaytu built a madrasah for his wife, Yildiz Hatun, and it served as a hospital from the beginning (darussifa). Of course, just like other such assumptions, it also operated as a medical school. Its architecture shows Seljuk and eastern influences, from where also came the llhanowie. The beautifully carved portal catches the eye, on its sides there are similar-style windows. The rectangular courtyard is surrounded by arcades. There are two livans here – the one at the entrance and the other at the end, vis a vis portalu.

At pl. Government stoi Gumuslu Mosque. Admittedly, it was established in 1. pot. XIV c., but rebuilt many times as a result of numerous fires and earthquakes, it has lost almost all its original appearance and character.

We are now crossing the square on Ataturk Cad., we pass the small Pir Mehmet Celebi Camii (1507), and our next destination is located several dozen meters south of Ataturk Cad. Burmese Minaret Mosque, that is, the Spiral Minaret Mosque, which we will immediately find confirmation, as soon as we see the minaret. The temple was built in the Seljuk times, in years 1237-47 during the reign of Keyhusrev II. The entrance portal is flanked on one side by a spirally grooved minaret, and on the other by a polygonal turbe, where the founders of the temple rest – vizier Ferruh and treasurer Yusuf. It is worth paying attention, that the mosque is not preceded by a portico, which on a larger scale began to appear only in Ottoman buildings. The structure of Burmali Minare Camii is similar to that of Seljuk madrasas. The minaret was added only in the 17th century.

We go back to Ataturk Cad., passing ruined, but the impressive and still working Ottoman caravanserai Tas Hani (1758). After exiting Ataturk Cad. we will find ourselves next to the 15th-century Kilari Suleyman Aga Camii, here we turn left (west), and on the right, in front of the Kilari mosque, we pass the old covered bazaar – bedesten z 2. half. XV w. It was built by Huseyin Aga, I am tan, who founded the two madrasahs described above. Today there is a shopping center here, and the building is in very good condition.
