Recognized as the emblem of Ankara, the Citadel commands a commanding view of the city. Built by the Hittites or the Phrygians, it is the oldest area of the city, with residents living mostly unchanged from 600 years ago. The area was inhabited prior to 2000 BC.

With the renovation done between 1997 and 2001, the ruins of the Roman Bath in Ankara, which span an area of about 65.000 m2, have assumed the look of an outdoor museum. The roughly one thousand stone artifacts found among the remains can be divided into three primary categories: architectural elements, tablets, and burial steles. The majority of the tomb steles from the Roman and Byzantine eras are on display in the southern wing of the Palaestra, while the northern wing features blocks with scriptures, postaments (pedestals), and water pipes; the eastern wing features an altar and other architectural pieces; and the middle section features sarcophagus and lion sculptures. - We can change this attraction with the "First Parliament Building" if the weather is not suitable for the tour.

Ataturk, the creator of the Turkish Republic, a revolutionary, a valiant soldier, a great leader, and a global figure, is eternally resting in this mausoleum. Built in 1953 and completed with a view over Ankara, it was the site of Ataturk's burial in November of that same year. Numerous Turkish artists have contributed statues, reliefs, and other embellishments to the mausoleum.
