Uzungöl is called 'the end of the Earth' by local people and it is the symbol of Trabzon city. It is a must-see place with its natural beauty.
It was built in 1238-1263 and used for different purposes such as a church, hospital, store, and mosque during World War I. It became a museum after 1964, and today it is being used as a mosque again. Although it is a mosque now, Hagia Sophia still has much Christian art in it.
