Abstract

Çamlıbel, which is located 28 km south-east of Tokat, has always been an important transition point from Anatolian Seljuk until today. The town located on Tokat-Sivas highway was called “Çiftlik-Çiftlikköy” in the Ottoman period yearbooks. Çamlıbel became one of the transition points in the Tokat-Sivas section of the Samsun-Baghdad highway during the Ottoman period. It is seen that Çamlıbel was a residential area attached to Yıldız small town in the XV. century and was among the small towns attached to central sanjak in the 19th century yearbooks. The mentioned records show that Çamlıbel was developed and deteriorated at certain intervals during the Ottoman period. A caravanserai and a mosque structure from the Anatolian Seljuk Period, and four bridges and the upper part of a fountain from the Ottoman period have been able to reach the present day in Çamlıbel. The caravanserai and the mosque are quite ruined. It is seen that the bridges have been largely solid .
