Cephanelik
Cephanelik is one of the most striking and debated structures among the buildings of Trabzon.

The tughra of Abdülhamit II above its door and the inscription also confirm this. It is clearly understood that Cephanelik was commissioned in 1887. It consists of two concentric circular sections with an approximate diameter of 25-40 meters. The inner section has four storeys, while the outer section has three storeys.
