- Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi - This museum’s exhibits start with fascinating artifacts from the Catal Huyuk site, often considered the world’s first known human settlement, and focus uniquely on the early invaders of Anatolia. Highlights include a collection of tablets whose translations remind us how little the world has changed over time.
- Ankara Castle - Known as the symbol of Ankara, the Citadel offers a panoramic view of the city. Built by the Hittites or Phrygians, it is the city’s oldest part, with residents living much as they did 600 years ago. The area has been inhabited since before 2000 BC.
- Roman Baths - Renovated between 1997 and 2001, the ruins of the Roman Bath in Ankara, covering about 65,000 m2, now resemble an open-air museum. The approximately one thousand stone artifacts found here fall into three main categories: architectural elements, tablets, and burial steles. Most of the tomb steles from the Roman and Byzantine periods are displayed in the southern wing of the Palaestra, while the northern wing features blocks with inscriptions, pedestals, and water pipes; the eastern wing showcases an altar and other architectural pieces; and the central section displays sarcophagi and lion sculptures.
- Anitkabir - This mausoleum is the eternal resting place of Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, a revolutionary, a brave soldier, a great leader, and a global figure. Completed in 1953 with a view over Ankara, it became the site of Ataturk’s burial in November of that year. Numerous Turkish artists have contributed statues, reliefs, and other decorations to the mausoleum.
