Gülbahar Hatun Mosque And Tomb

I would now like to introduce you to the Gülbahar Hatun Mosque and Tomb, one of Trabzon’s significant Ottoman monuments. The complex was commissioned in honor of Gülbahar Hatun—the mother of Yavuz Sultan Selim and the grandmother of Suleiman the Magnificent. Built in the early 16th century, the mosque and tomb are key structures that reflect Trabzon’s historical identity from the Ottoman era. The fact that Gülbahar Hatun is laid to rest here lends the tomb special significance.

The mosque is notable for its stonework and its architecture, which exemplifies the classical Ottoman style. The complex serves as an important historical landmark for visitors wishing to explore Trabzon’s Ottoman heritage.
