On the picture: The domes of the Bedesten (market hall, 1483), the dome and minaret of the Kilari Süleyman Ağa Camii (1489), the ruins of Taşhan (an Inn from 1758, restored in 2013) and the Burmalı Cami with its türbe (both Seljuk, 13th century) and its ‘Spiral’ Minaret (Ottoman, early 17th century).

The picture was taken from Kızlar Sarayı, some 70 m above the Yeşilırmak River.
