Hatuniye Mahallesi

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:46:45

The Hatuniye Mahallesi is Amasya's wonderful neighbourhood of restored Ottoman houses, interspersed with good modern reproductions to make a harmonious whole.

The Hazeranlar Konağı , constructed in 1865 and restored in 1979, was built by Hasan Talat, the accountant of governor-poet Ziya Paşa, for his sister, Hazeran Hanım. The restored rooms are beautifully furnished in period style, with a refined feel to their chandeliers and carved wood. The Directorate of Fine Arts gallery in the basement has changing exhibitions.
