About Ankara

Ankara is the capital of Turkey, a high-plateau city with Atatürk's mausoleum, a great museum of Anatolian civilisations and an old citadel quarter.

Ankara stands on the Anatolian plateau about 900 metres above sea level, and became the capital of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Anıtkabir, the hilltop mausoleum of the republic's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, is a vast monument of stone with a museum of his life. The old citadel quarter, Hisar, climbs a hill in the oldest part of town, with Ottoman wooden houses, small shops and views over the modern city.
