Ayasofya Cami

Ayasofya Cami was reopened for Muslim worship after 52 years, with the performance of the daily prayer on Friday, 28 June 2013. Trabzon Ayasofya Museum, which is a mosque today, was built during the reign of 1. Manuel Komnenos, one of the kings of the Trabzon Empire (1238-1263). The bell tower, dated to 1427, is located to the west of the church. The remains of the three-apsed chapel to the north of the church belong to an earlier period.
