Sivas Atatürk and Congress Museum
Merkez, Sivas
A museum set up in the former Sivas High School building where the Sivas Congress of 4–11 September 1919 convened.
Its story
The museum building was built at the end of the 19th century as the Sivas Mekteb-i Sultanî (high school) and opened for teaching in 1887. On 4 September 1919 the Sivas Congress, which set out the road map of the National Struggle, convened in this building; Mustafa Kemal and the Representative Committee (Heyet-i Temsiliye) used the building as headquarters for a time. Today the museum displays the congress hall, the room where Atatürk stayed, documents of the period and ethnographic works. In front of the building stands the Sivas Congress and Atatürk Monument. It is around the same square as the city's Seljuk madrasas.
