Hı everyone ,
Today I want to explain another beautifull city TRABZON in Turkey.

Trabzon is the emerald green city of The Black Sea coast. Trabzon is the largest port of Black Sea. It also known as Trebizond or Trapezus. Trabzon's history goes back to the 8th century BC, Milesian emporia. During the World War I it was captured by Russians but it has been taken back to the hands of Turkey by Treaty of Lausanne. In the Byzantine period caravans from Persia were passing through the Trabzon to sell their goods to Europe. Trabzon is still a busy trading centre.

SÜMELA MONASTERY(Panagia Sumela (Παναγία Σουμελά) orTheotokos Sumela)

The Sumela Monastery, which stands on the foot of a steep cliff facing the Altindere valley in the region of Maçka in Trabzon province, is populary known as "Meryem Ana" (The Virgin Mary). The building complex is nearly 300 metres high and was built following the tradition of monasteries that were located outside the cities in forests near caves and sources of water.
The Monastery, founded in honour of the Virgin Mary, took the name of "Sumela" which derives from "Melas", meaning black. Althought, it is thought that it has taken this name from the mountains, the Karadaglar (Black Mountains), on which it stands, it could also associated with the black colou of the icon of the Virgin Mary.
