Remarkably attractive throughout its [[history]], [[Trabzon]] was the subject of hundreds of [[travel books]] by western [[tourism|traveller]]s, some of whom had named it "city of [[:wikt:tale|tale]] in the East." The capital city [[Trabzon]] was founded, as Trapezus, by Greek colonists from Sinope, modern [[Sinop, Turkey]]. Starting from the 9th century BC, the city had also been mentioned by historians such as [[Homeros]], [[Herodotus]], [[Hesiod]]os. The first written source regarding Trabzon is [[Anabasis (Xenophon)|Anabasis]], authored by [[Xenophon]].

An important [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] and [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] centre, it was the capital of the [[Empire of Trebizond]] from 1204 to 1461. Trabzon was subsequently made part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] by [[Mehmed II|Mehmet the Conqueror]]. It was initially a ''[[sanjak]]'' before gaining the status of ''[[eyalet]]'', and finally became a ''[[vilayet]]'' in 1868. After the region was conquered in 1461, the [[Fatih Mosque, Trabzon|Fatih Medrese]] (1462), [[Hatuniye Medrese]] (1515), [[İskender Pasha Mosque, Trabzon|İskender Pasha Medrese]] (1529) and [[Hamza Pasha Medrese]] (1543) were established as important [[madrasa|medreses]] (educational centers; some of them within [[külliye]] complexes) of the period.<ref>[http://www.karalahana.com/english/archive/trabzon.html Trabzon history] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080612103626/http://www.karalahana.com/english/archive/trabzon.html |date=2008-06-12 }}</ref> It was initially a ''[[sanjak]]'' before gaining the status of ''[[eyalet]]'', and finally became a ''[[vilayet]]'' in 1868.
 
The province was a site of major fighting between Ottoman and [[Russian Empire|Russian]] forces during the [[Caucasus Campaign]] of [[World War I]], which resulted in the capture of the city of Trabzon by the Russian army under command of [[Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich of Russia (1856–1929)|Grand Duke Nicholas]] and [[Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich|Nikolai Yudenich]] in April 1916. The province was restored to Turkish control in early 1918 following Russia's exit from World War I with the [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]].

=== Archaeology ===
In April 2021, archaeologists announced the discovery of [[Roman Empire|Roman]] and Byzantine period archeological remains in the [[Ortahisar]] district. The southern part of the wicker columns and fortifications of the Roman emperor [[Hadrian|Hadrian's]] period, trench walls of [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine period]] dating back to 1460 have been discovered. Remains of Roman tiles and pottery were also discovered during the excavations.
