Amasya Museum of the Ottoman Princes

Amasya played a crucial role in Ottoman history, serving as a training ground for many future sultans. This museum brings that legacy to life through realistic statues, period clothing, and an interior richly decorated with Hatayi and Rumi motifs, original calligraphy, and exquisite examples of traditional carpet weaving.

Upper Floor – Princes Who Became Sultans

The seven statues on the upper level depict princes who once lived in Amasya and later ascended the Ottoman throne:
Yıldırım Bayezid, Çelebi Mehmed, Murad II, Mehmed the Conqueror, Bayezid II, Selim I (Yavuz), and Murad III.

Ground Floor – Princes Who Did Not Ascend the Throne

Five statues represent princes who spent their youth in Amasya but never became sultans, including Prince Mustafa, Prince Bayezid, Prince Ahmed, and Prince Alaeddin.
