At the heart of Ortahisar, the Trabzon History Museum preserves the rich cultural memory of the Black Sea's most important port city. Silver work, ceramics, and artifacts from the Byzantine era form the core of the collection, while old maps and vivid photographs on the walls tell the city's hidden stories. The way Genoese merchants and Islamic architecture stand side by side in the displays reveals just how cosmopolitan a trading hub Trabzon once was. In particular, the presence of Silk Road documents in the archive section makes this museum a witness to the cultural exchange between East and West. We recommend visiting in the morning to take in the collections and benefit from the guide's explanations; an early arrival gives you more time to linger over the artifacts.
