Trabzon Museum (Kostaki Mansion)

The Kostaki Mansion, one of Trabzon’s significant historical structures, is an opulent residence built in the late 19th century. Commissioned by the Russian merchant Kostaki Teophylaktos, the building stands out for its European-influenced exterior and ornate interiors. The mansion’s stonework, spacious halls, and ceiling decorations, in particular, reflect the architectural style of the era.

Now serving as the Trabzon Museum, the Kostaki Mansion is a key destination for gaining insight into the city’s historical and cultural heritage. Archaeological and ethnographic artifacts are exhibited within the mansion, offering visitors the opportunity to explore both the history of the building itself and Trabzon’s rich cultural legacy spanning from the past to the present.
