Ankara has served as the capital of Turkey since 1923. Set on the Central Anatolian Plateau, the city is the country’s political centre, yet its layers extend far beyond the republican era. Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, is a defining civic landmark, while Ankara Castle rises above the historic quarters. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations displays archaeological finds from across Anatolia in an Ottoman-era bedesten. Broad avenues, universities, theatres and neighbourhood markets give the capital an everyday urban rhythm distinct from Turkey’s coastal cities.

Turkey stretches from the Black Sea coast to the Mediterranean shore, encompassing the Anatolian Plateau, rugged mountain belts and the indented Aegean coastline. The Bosporus divides Istanbul between Europe and Asia, while historic districts hold landmarks including Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Inland, Cappadocia is known for valleys formed in soft volcanic rock and for rock-cut churches; farther west, the ruins of Ephesus recall the country’s place in the classical world. Regional character also defines Turkish cuisine, from Aegean olive-oil dishes to tea served throughout daily life.
