Its story
Uşak Station was built in the 1890s by a French company on the İzmir-Afyonkarahisar railway line; it is visited for its historic building and steam locomotives. In front of the station stands a caped Atatürk statue by Gürdal Duyar, erected in 1965. The statue is one of the monuments erected in eight cities as a result of a competition launched through a campaign by the Milliyet newspaper; it was first placed in front of the governor's office and later moved to the station. The new Uşak Museum is also on the old station site.
