Its story
Metristepe is the hill from which the Western Front command directed the battle during the First and Second Battles of İnönü in 1921. The famous telegram Mustafa Kemal sent to İsmet Paşa after the Second Battle of İnönü was won is known for its reference to this hill. Today the hill has a victory monument, a martyrs' cemetery and information panels describing the course of the battle. From here there is a wide view of the İnönü plain and the battlefield. It is an important place of remembrance for those interested in the history of the War of Independence.
