Giresun Museum, Archaeological museum in Zeytinlik neighborhood, Giresun, Turkey.
The museum occupies a former basilica constructed with rectangular yellow and brown limestone blocks, featuring a central dome and cross-shaped floor plan.
Built as Gogora Church in the 18th century, the structure served different purposes, including a prison from 1948 to 1967, before becoming a museum in 1988.
The collection includes 390 archaeological and 561 ethnographic items from Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods, with artifacts dating back to 3000 BCE.
Located 1.5 kilometers east of city center, visitors can reach the museum by taking eastbound minibuses number 2 or 4 or walking through historic quarter alleys.
The museum complex includes two cellars filled with amphorae and displays an unusual minaret-shaped stove among its Ottoman-era household items.
