Before the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, Ankara was a small city, and by 2009, it had developed into a modern city of about 5 million people, second only to the economic center and the ancient capital of Istanbul. The city of Ankara is divided into two parts, the old city is centered on an ancient castle built on a small hill; the new city is surrounded by the east, west and south of the old city. Before Ankara was officially designated the capital, the city was not large and only tens of thousands of residents. During the prestigious Ottoman period, Turkey's capital was Istanbul on the edge of the Bosphorus. With the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the invasion of imperialist forces such as Russia, Britain, and France, Turkey was at risk of partition by the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Istanbul, the capital, was also often under threat from the gunships of European imperialist powers. Mustafa Kemal, revered as the "father of Turkey", went to Asia Minor to organize a bourgeois revolution against foreign aggression and overthrow the feudal imperialism of Sudan internally. Due to its moderate geographical location and convenient transportation, Ankara gradually became the center of the struggle. And, for security reasons, Ankara was designated the capital of the Republic after the victory of the revolution.

    Ankara Castle is a special recognition and a guide to the attraction printed on the Starbucks City Cup in Ankara. Because there is it on the cup, I have a special expectation of it, and I feel it when I take pictures.

    According to colleagues, two hundred years ago, this place was once the center of Ankara. Today, the tattered houses, under the embers of the sunset, the cracked ancient walls are like wrinkles on the forehead of the old man, but the old is a little more peaceful. Walking in the alley, the heart is naturally quiet. Like the hometown of childhood, people are like home. Worth a visit!

    Ankara Castle, located in the center of Ankara, the Turkish capital, is located on the top of the mountain of the old city, standing at the commanding height of the hillside of Ankara. It is currently the most interesting place to hang out in Ankara. The thickest walls and charming streets are well preserved. Still let visitors feel the historical style of the 9th century AD. Ankara castle is also a landmark in Ankara, the castle is divided into interior and exterior, and now only a few watchtowers are retained outside. In addition, the very traditional Turkish architecture and grand architectural style is amazing, visitors can not help but imagine the smoke and fire that once roamed here. The castle was built by the ancient Romans in the 2nd century BC for military defense. Visitors will find the road intricate, the ruins of the wall is full of historical vicissitudes. Transportation: Because Ankara Castle is located in the center of Ankara, if tourists from every city or town in Turkey, there are long-distance buses directly to Ankara. Also, there are tourist buses in the city to the main attractions, very convenient. From the long-distance bus station or train station, take bus No. 16 or 64, at the foot of the mountain, about 10 minutes by car. Visitors can also arrive by car. Or take the subway Ulus station. Visitors can check the route at the tourist service center, which saves some time.
