Tokat Müzesi

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:40:23

Housed within the impressively restored Arastalı Bedesten (covered market) the excellent collection here packs in Roman tombs, Seljuk carpets, Hellenic jewellery and local folkloric dresses, with informative signs in English. Look out for Bronze Age and Hittite artefacts, icons and relics from Tokat's churches (including a Greek Orthodox representation of John the Baptist with his head on a platter) and dervish ceremonial tools and weapons.
