Viewpoint
Atakule
Çankaya, Ankara
A communications and observation tower on the Çankaya ridge, opened in 1989, offering city views from its observation deck and revolving restaurant.
Its story
Designed by architect Ragıp Buluç, Atakule was built between 1987 and 1989 and opened on 13 October 1989. The tower, about 125 meters high, together with the shopping center beneath it, formed one of Ankara's first large shopping complexes. After renovation work, the tower and the shopping arcade have reopened to visitors. From the tower's upper floors, Kocatepe Mosque, Anıtkabir, Ankara Castle and the hills surrounding the city can all be seen in one panorama. You can combine it with a walk in Ankara Botanical Park just below.
