|  | Ankara has been Turkey's capital since 1923. After Atatürk had won the war he declared the republic and moved the capital to Ankara, it is centrally located and it had no associations with the Ottoman Empire.
The city is now Turkey's second largest with a population of
4 million.
In the north is the old city, Ulus, and to the south is the new Ankara, Yenisehir.
The two must sees in the city are the Museum of Anatolian Civilisation and Anit Kabir (Atatürk Mausoleum). |

A very interesting tour with great advice on how to deal with Ankara! The Ataturk memorial looks very impressive. I liked your photo of the gate at Hattusa, since I recently watched a program on the history of the Hittites! | scottishvisitor Wed Mar 28, 2007 20:50 UTC
Must have been nice to see the little village after the noisy traffic in the city streets. | H-TownJourneyman Sun Mar 19, 2006 09:29 UTC
