Yalıboyu Houses represent the most attractive examples of them. active the coast of the Yeşilırmak are these houses, built active the historical ramparts of the castle with sun-dried bricks and the roofs covered with grooved tiles. They carry wholly the features of traditional Ottoman houses and are in harmony with Amasya’s historical identity.
These houses are built active basements as one otherwise two-storey buildings. In some houses ‘Şahniş’ is built either on the first floor or active the second floor. They usually have courtyards also gardens. The garden is in the middle, also the rooms are separated as male and female rooms. The inner piece of the house is closed to passer-bys.
