The Capital of Türkiye
Ankara, the heart of the Republic.
Türkiye's capital combines the memory of the Republic, world-class museums and a historic citadel with modern congress venues and easy access to Cappadocia.
Central Anatolia
A capital with deep roots.
Ankara became the capital of the new Turkish Republic in 1923, and Anıtkabir, the monumental mausoleum of Atatürk, remains its most visited landmark.
The city's history goes back much further: the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations displays treasures from the Hittites, Phrygians and Urartians, while the old citadel quarter preserves Ottoman houses and narrow streets with views over the city.
