Mirror Cave

Mirror Cave is a cave in Amasya.

It is located on the Visitor Town road, 3.3 kilometres from the city centre. Carved stone tombs are present. The tomb, reached by four steps, is carved into a flat rock. Its width is 9.8 metres and its height is 13 metres. When viewed from the outside, it appears to be made with stone masonry. The carvings on the outer surface of the cave have been polished. Another reason for its name Mirror Cave is that the façade shines when sunlight hits the cave entrance.
