In front of Kursunlu Hani stands the historic Frenksah Haniem (1262), now housing a pub, where we will eat nice pide. Going further south (we pass Ismail Bey Han on the left), after a while we will reach the covered bazaar with 1469 r., Cem S. Bedesten (not used yet). Turn right in front of this building and the street leads us to the stairs, and with these we go out to Belediye Cad., where we go left. We can already see Yamk Han on the right, a caravanserai. It was built by a certain Zada ​​Haci Ismail Aga in 1730 r. and since then no one has renovated the building. Thanks to this, we will find a unique atmosphere inside, as if taken alive from an open-air museum, but watch out for choppy boards in the galleries. The interior of the inn is all wooden doors, stairs, only the courtyard is paved, paved with stones, with a small tree in the center. Continuing along Belediye Cad., we'll get to the historic one, the beautifully renovated Araba Pazari Baths. Established at the beginning of the 15th century., works to this day. Vis a vis the bathhouse, it is large and beautiful, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Ottoman Palace (The Ottoman Palace), which today serves as a hotel for tourists (formerly it was the town hall).

After returning in front of Cem S.. Turn left this time Bedesten (facing him), and the Nalburlar Carsisi street leads us to the right, next to Balkapam Hani (end of the 15th century) to a small mosque, which looks like a turbe. Above you can see the minaret of the Yakup Aga Kulliyesi complex. When we turn left behind a small mosque (w Mahkemealti Cad.), then we will immediately enter the first right (leads up), then we will go along Agaimaret Sok. straight ahead, we will reach the walls of the complex. It was built in the mid-sixteenth century., and he owned a mosque, madrasa, primary school and imaret. Some of the buildings are in ruins, across the street (south side). The temple itself is a simple square building, vaulted with one dome and preceded by a classical one, Ottoman portico. The mosque is badly plastered today. After exiting back to Agaimaret Sok. we head right, then left (Kefeli Sok., passing here in Atabey Sok.). We go straight and take the second street to the right (there is already a signpost for Kale, that is, the castle). We got to the oldest mosque in Kastamonu, Atabey Gazi Mosque. built in 1273 r. by Emir Atabey of the Cobanogullari family ("Sons of shepherds"). He was given the title of Gazi, that is, a fighter for faith, and was buried in a tomb next to the mosque. The indoor one is flat, with a low-slung roof, which rests on thin ones, wooden columns with a square shaft.

After the mosque, we take the first street on the right (Kale Sok.) and straight up here. In front of the last house (behind it a square and a street going down to the other side of the hill) we turn left into the path and head towards the visible gate. On the way there are Turkish women sewing various scarves, etc., who immediately try to sell us something. The fortress is the only monument from Byzantine times. It was built in the 12th century. and surrounded by really massive walls, at which it was located 14 bond. Place, in which we find ourselves, it is an interior fortress, nothing has survived from the outside. The fortress was rebuilt many times during the Turkish era.

Ismail Bey Camii stands on a small hill in front of the bus station, on the south side of the river. To get there, we turn left into the street (Tascme Sok.), right next to the footbridge, and we go up, then right. The temple was built together with the entire complex (college) w 1454 r. The mosque is a structure covered with two identical domes. The minaret is quite unusual, seems too fat, and it grows out of a prayer hall, which is preceded by a high portico. The complex includes those still preserved to this day: madrasa, hospice (kitchen for the poor), hamam and turbe (tomb) fundatora Ismaila Beya, who, however, does not rest here (he died in Bulgaria and his body was buried there).

Historic Ottoman houses are scattered throughout the city, which we may be looking for as we penetrate Kastamon. There are always signposts leading to the prettiest and renovated (m.in. in the vicinity of the museum, on the south side of the river, and on the north side, west of the stone bridge). They will be a foretaste of Safranbol awaiting us.
