Founded in 1488 in the reign of Beyazit II, this religious school was wrecked by 19th century earthquakes. It was restored in 1978 and is again used for Koranic studies.

Mosque built in 1486 AD by Mehmet, tutor of Ahmet the son of Beyazit II. The ornate door and pulpit have been moved to the museum.
Sabuncuoğlu Medical History Museum
Medressah built in 1305 which became a mental health research facility using music to treat its patients. For 75 years or so it then housed Amasya's music conservatory but has re-opened as a museum displaying Sabuncuoğlu's work here.
Harşena hill has been used as a fortress since 3000 BCE, repeatedly stormed then rebuilt - what you see now is mostly from the rebuild of 1075 AD. It's on two levels and riddled with cisterns and tunnels. Great views of the city.
This covered bazaar from 1483 is still in use. It's just unimpressive clothing and kitsch so it's a place to browse not buy anything.
Spiral Minaret Mosque
This mosque was built circa 1240. The minaret suffered a string of calamities and was rebuilt in 1730 with a distinctive spiral-fluted exterior, hence the name. Interred here are the architect and his son, but the mummified Prince Cumudar has been transferred to the museum.
Amasya İkinci Beyazıt Külliyesi
A külliyesi is a religious complex with a mosque, medressah, hospital, soup kitchen and pilgrim lodgings. Often only the mosque survives, but the Amasya complex is fairly intact though several buildings have been re-purposed. It was built in 1486 and is dedicated to Beyazid II. Today it also houses the city library and a miniature museum, see below.
