Sumela Monastery, within the borders of Altındere Village of Maçka District, was built on steep rock cliffs at the skirts of Karadağ Mountain which overlooks the Altındere Valley. Among the populace it is known as Virgin Mary Monastery. The location of the monastery proves the tradition that the monasteries were generally built outside the city, in forests, and nearby the waterside and caves.

Constructed as a summer residence by Konstantin Kabayanidis in the early 19th century, the pavilion lies on the ridge of Soğuksu which overlooks Trabzon. The building reflects the influence of European and West Renaissance Architecture, and large and splendid European symbols were used for decorative purposes. Stonework was used on the exterior side and interior part is made of bricks; however, stairs are wooden, and have ban isters.

Being one of the historical works of Trabzon, Trabzonspor Museum is on the second floor of Sadri Şener Social Facility Building. The museum which displays many championship cups reveals that the Trabzonspor Sport Club has an important place in the Turkish football history. The most interesting cup in the museum is the ‘half cup’ which was shared with Ankara Havagücü Sport Club in the 1958 Turkish Amateur Football Championship.

In modern museology, it can be clearly seen that museums have high importance for the society in various ways. Every nation is passionate about passing down their former experiences to the new generations, recognizing the civilizations that their ancestors created since they maintain their national identities with the power of their strong ancestors and gladly introduce former civilizations to others.
