Alagöz Headquarters Museum
Sincan, Ankara
The village house used as the Western Front Headquarters and Atatürk's headquarters during the Battle of Sakarya.
Its story
When the Greek army advanced as far as the outskirts of Polatlı, the Western Front Command chose the village of Alagöz between Ankara and Polatlı as its headquarters. The two-story farmhouse belonging to Türkoğlu Ali Ağa of the village became the headquarters of Mustafa Kemal Paşa and his staff in the summer of 1921. Used as a home for many years after the war, the building was transferred to the state in 1965 and, after restoration, opened as a museum in 1968. The commander-in-chief's room, the general staff room, the communications room and the bedrooms are furnished with period items. It is an important stop for those touring the Battle of Sakarya battlefield.
