AMASYA - View from the Citadel - a photo on Flickriver

            Amasya is one of the most beautiful towns in Turkey. Set in the narrow cleft of Yeşilırmak (Green) River, Amasya is famous for its unique natural beauty as well as for the traces of its millenary history. The main attarctions are the remains of the citadel and the rock cut tombs of the Pontus Kings (3rd century BC), the Seljuk and Ottoman histiorical mosques and medreses (13th to 15th century AD) and the well preserved traditional Turkish mansions (19th century), a fine example of the late Ottoman architecture. 
Amasya is the birthplace of the famous geographer Strabon (ca. 63 BC to 25 AD). By tradition, Amasya is the place were Ottoman crown princes (şehzade) were educated and prepared to take over statecraft responsibilities before they became Sultans. As well, Amasya is an important landmark in history of the modern Turkey: it’s here were Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his faithful companions have issued and telgraphed all over the country the “Circular of Amasya”, that is considered as the first written document putting the Turkish War of Independence in motion.

Amasya este unul din cele mai frumoase oraşe din Turcia. Aşezat într-un defileu stâncos şi îngust al lui Yeşilırmak (Râul Verde), Amasya se distinge atât prin frumuseţea naturală deosebită cât şi prin vestigiile istoriei sale multimilenare. Cele mai mari atracţii sunt cetatea şi mormintele săpate în stâncă ale regilor pontici (secolul 3 î.Ch), moscheele şi seminariile teologice islamice din perioadele otomane şi selgiucide (sec. 13-15), ca şi complexul de case tradiţionale turceşti (sec. 19), minunate exemple de arhitectură otomană târzie. 
Amasya este locul de naştere al faimosului geograf Strabon (ca. 63 î.Ch – 25 d.Ch). Prin tradiţie, la Amasya erau educaţi şi pregătiţi să preia responsabiltăţile statului prinţii moştenitori (şehzade) înainte de a deveni sultani. Amasya este de asemenea o piatră de hotar în istoria Turciei moderne: aici, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk şi companionii săi credincioşi au pregătit şi telegrafiat în toată ţara Circulara de la Amasya, consierată primul document scris care a pus în mişcare Războiul pentru Independenţa Turciei.
