Ankara Castle

Ankara Castle is one of the places to see in Ankara. It has a nice view of the city that you can see most of the central places around. The castle has many souvenir shops and traditional Ankara houses inside. All was restored thanks to Altindag municipality. There are also cafes and restaurants inside the castle. When the castle was made is not known exactly. There aren't armors around the walls which means that you must be very careful while you are at the upper part. The historic neighborhood within the old walls can be divided into two parts. One where money has been pumped in to restore the historic buildings and draw tourists. This area is centred on the road between the main gate and the citadel. The rest of this neighborhood is quite poor but oozes a authentic historic charm. Its well worth a visit if you're into these sorts of things 🌟⛅️🏰🌼 #solstice #urbanexplorer #summervacation #hikingtrails #historicculture #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Compared with other cities, the city's travelers, as the capital of Ankara, like the town, faded out of people's horizons, only the "explosion" makes people think of it by chance. Ankara Fort is not so much an attraction, it is better to be a place for people around to take a leisurely walk, not the same quiet. There are no tourists in the town, most of them are locals, there are a group of children who play and feel very happy.

#bucketlistreboot Monument . Tomb for past president Address: Yücetepe, Akdeniz Cd. No:31, 06570 Çankaya/Ankara, Turkey At hour one will be able to see soldiers marching and exchange their stations. This became an attraction of the day. Free of charge to enter the monument. There are few cafes available for drink. The monument has a massive , huge underground museum. Colonnaded tomb for the former president, Kemal Ataturk, with a marble hall, turrets & museum. The museum is extremely interesting and very details. One can spend whole day if interested to find out more about the former leader of the country

The Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, also known as the Museum, is the center of Ankara. There are only free travellers and few teams. The father was born in Greece in 1881. His real name is Mustafa Kemal. The so-called Ataturk is the title given to Kemal by the Congress in 1934. It has the meaning of "the father of the Turks". There are 5,000 books he has read in the memorial, and the notes on the book are enough to be written into 25 books. Most of the memorials are not photographable, and there is also a gift from Chiang Kai-shek. There are 24 lions on the long walkway. Each two stands together for unity, while the other represents peace and 24 represents the Turkish nation. However, I have not found that there are 24 nationalities in Turkey. The lion opens his mouth and represents that if you invade me, I will fight back. The black marble of the memorial is Italian, white is Turkish, red is a city in eastern Turkey, and only the city has red marble. The sea, land and air force in front of the door was replaced by one person for one hour. The white is the navy and the dark green is the army. In the afternoon, we just caught up with the African generals to come to the flowers. This is not the point. The point is that I saw a bald, super handsome bodyguard, a suit and a sneaker, and I was wearing a mirror image. I was very good and looked very thin. what. The sky suddenly appears with the Tyndall effect, a sacred sense of silence, when I was named "Jesus Light."
