Abstract :The traces of the cultural layers unearthed by the civilizations settled in Anatolia throughout history constitute the cultural heritage of our country. Historical Tokat City Center is an example of lesser-known areas with important cultural heritage in our country. All countries in the world are doing an important work for the protection of cultural and natural heritage. There are national and international, official or non-governmental organizations established to carry these out. In this study, with the aim of determining and evaluating the historical Tokat City Center cultural heritage sites, it has been shown that the architectural works, which are one of the most important parts of the Seljuk civilization culture in the area, can be contributed to the protection by recognizing and introducing them. It is possible to make many determinations for the Seljuk culture. In this study, the title of "Seljuk Architecture” has been chosen for the Anatolian Seljuk culture, with an integrative view over buildings or works of art.
