nkara, the capital city of Turkey, has been
an important city not only for the modern
Republic of Turkey but also for many
different civilizations. When you explore
the Anatolian Civilizations Museum, one
of the most prominent museums of the
world, you will observe the historical transformation of
not only Ankara but also Asia Minor, a significant route of
migration. The Temple of Augustus, unparalleled in the
world, is another spot that should be visited in Ankara.
When you visit the First National Assembly, from
where the war of independence was directed, and the
Second National Assembly, where the first significant
decisions of the young republic were taken, you will
take a trip to the recent history of the country. The
Mausoleum and Museum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,
the founder of the Republic of Turkey, are awaiting
your visit. And of course, once you are in Ankara,
it would a pity not to visit Gordion, the capital
city of the Phrygian civilization, and the tomb of
Midas, the famous Phrygian King.
