The mausoleum of Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Turkish Republic, was constructed in 1944 and sits atop a hill overlooking the city.

This museum houses a rich collection of folkloric artifacts, and was the first resting place of Ataturk until the completion of his mausoleum in 1953.

The foundations of this structure were laid by Galatians and eventually completed by the Romans. Located atop a hill in the old city, the area inside the citadel contains many fine examples of traditional architecture.

The mosque as it stands today shows the architectural characteristics of late 17th century and 18th century mosques. The ceiling is made of ornamental wood, and floral and plant motifs can be found throughout.

This is a good example of a forest mosque as it was constructed of carved wooden columns supporting a wooden roof. Built in the 13th century, it was previously known as Arslanhane (The House of Lions) because of the lion statues surrounding it.

The temple was built in A.D. 10 as a tribute to Emperor Augustus, and later reconstructed by the Romans in the 2nd century. Its importance remains today for the testament of Augustus that is inscribed on its walls in both Greek and Latin.

This commanding mosque was built between 1967 and 1987 and is both the newest and largest in the city.

The baths were constructed with three main divisions: a frigidarium (cold section), tepidarium (cool section) and caldarium (hot section). They were built during the time of Emperor Caracalla (3rd century AD) in honor of Asclepios, the god of medicine. Today only the basement and first floors remain.

This column, which stands 15 meters high, was erected in 362 AD to commemorate a visit by the Roman Emperor Julian.

Built between 1597 and 1663 the Yeni Mosque is the largest Ottoman mosque in Ankara and stands majestically above the harbor at Eminonu.
