Amasya Low Bridge

The city of Amassia is a beautiful and heritage city that contains old houses built on the edge of the river, where there are adjoining places and archaeological sites worth visiting and spending a day in which there are excellent restaurants and cafés.

Amasya is the capital (İlçe Merkezi) of the district of the same name and of the province of Amasya in Turkey. The place has 150,000 inhabitants (2016). In ancient Greece the city was called Amaseia or in ancient Armenian Amasya. The city has a long history as an important regional capital and has produced many important figures such as kings, artists, scientists, poets and philosophers. Today it is an important regional tourist spot in the hinterland of the large production and port city of Samsun.

I'm very angry with the managers here. The river flows from the city center of Tokat, but the derk and the river strip arrangement have done very well, here the river is left to itself, there is no proper operation or regulation. You can get the mystical and historical atmosphere of the houses arranged very well from the bridge. However, the flowing sewage of the river and the swampy regions in the coastline undermine the image.

The people of Amasya called it "the low bridge" because a large part of the bridge built in the Roman period was flooded when the water level of Yeşilırma rose. This bridge is the most famous and oldest of the bridges that bring the two sides of Amasya together. As I understand, brides and grooms also love to take pictures on this bridge.

It has been living on these lands for several thousand years. Who knows who came, who passed...

Established on the skirts of the Yeşilırmak valley and Mount Harşena, Amasya has been a city where scientists, craftsmen, poets were educated and princes were educated throughout its history of over 7 thousand years.
