Yalıboyu Houses

Lined along and around the historic city walls on the banks of the Yeşilırmak River, the Yalıboyu Houses are among the most characteristic elements of Amasya’s traditional urban skyline. Their timber-frame structures, adobe infill, bay windows, courtyards and layouts organized around a central sofa reflect the local features of Ottoman-period residential culture.
