King Rock Tombs, Amasya

The King Rock Tombs at Amasya are a significant historical site, believed to have been constructed by the Mithridat dynasty of Pontus. These tombs are carved into the steep cliffs overlooking the city, approximately 100 meters above the Yeşilırmak River. Access involves climbing a considerable number of steps, but the effort is rewarded with stunning views of Amasya and its surrounding landscape. The site consists of multiple tombs, divided into sections accessible via different paths. While the tombs themselves are largely empty chambers, their historical and architectural significance, combined with the scenic location, makes them a popular attraction.
