Activity Overview

The Mausoleum of Atatürk, known as Anıtkabir, is the monumental tomb of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey. Located on Rasattepe in Ankara, it is one of the country’s most important national landmarks and memorials.

Completed in 1953, Anıtkabir combines monumental architecture with elements inspired by ancient Anatolian and Turkish traditions. The complex includes the Ceremonial Plaza, Hall of Honor, Road of Lions, Peace Park and Independence Tower, along with museums displaying personal belongings, photographs and historical exhibits related to Atatürk and the Turkish War of Independence.

Visitors can explore the impressive memorial complex and learn about Atatürk’s life and the founding of modern Turkey. Anıtkabir is both a significant historical site and a symbol of Turkish independence, national identity and modernisation.
