Ankara Castle is open to visitors, and no tickets are required to enter. Head inside via the Finger Gate, also called the Clock Gate for its clock tower, and explore the lanes to see the traditional houses, many of which have been converted into restaurants and handicraft shops. Some families still live here, lending the quarter a village-like feel. Other highlights include a 12th-century mosque and the citadel’s inner and outer walls, towers, and ramparts, which command 360-degree panoramas over Ankara.

The Anatolian Civilizations Museum houses the original works of Anatolian civilizations. It is comprised of two historical Ottoman buildings: Mahmutpaşa Covered Bazaar and Kurşunlu Inn. The museum underwent renovations in 2014 and now offers visitors to travel through history via artifacts, virtual tours, animations, and replicas. From Roman Bath to Museum The initial museum in Ankara was established in 1921. It was the brainchild of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who aimed to create a museum dedicated to Hittite Civilization. To achieve this, Hittite artworks were collected from all over the country and brought to the capital city of Ankara. The first step towards this goal was taken by Mr. Mubarek Galip, who was the Cultural Director at the time. He converted the Akkale Bastion of Ankara Castle, along with the Augustus Temple and the Roman Bath, into a museum. The Mahmutpaşa Covered Bazaar and Kurşunlu Inn in the vicinity of Ankara Castle were converted into a museum due to limited space available in Akkale. Restoration work on the unused began in 1938 and was completed in 1968. The central area of the covered bazaar was completed in 1943 and opened to visitors while the restoration was ongoing. Sheds Light On The History of Anatolia The Anatolian Civilizations Museum is one of the top-rated museums in the world with its unique collections. It was awarded the title of "Museum of the year in Europe" in 1997. The artifacts are displayed in chronologically separated sections. The upper hall area contains exhibits from the Palaeolithic Age, Chalcolithic Age, Old Bronze Age, Assyrian Trade Colonies Age, The Old Hittite and Hittite Imperial Age, Phrygian Kingdom, Late Hittite Kingdom, and Urartian Kingdom. The lower contains exhibits from the Classical Periods and Ankara Through the Ages. While You're Here While here, visitors can climb to the top of Ankara Castle for a panoramic view of the city, and visit the Rahmi M. Koç Museum. For a historical experience, guests can enjoy breakfast or a drink at And Cafe, located in a historic building in Kaleiçi. In the evening, concerts are held at the Erimtan Archaeology and Art Museum.

Carved into the hills surrounding the ancient city the great Roman Theater is truly one of the most stunning elements of the Hierapolis Archaeological Site. Its stunning architecture, friezes, and location make it one of the best-preserved theaters in Turkey. At its peak, it would have had a seating capacity of over 10,000 people. While there was also a suburban theater that has been nearly completely destroyed by earthquakes, it is this main central theater that encompasses the majesty of this once prosperous ancient city.
Excavation of the theater began in 1957 by the Italian Archaeological Mission and in 1988 the Hierapolis-Pamukkale Archaeological Site was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The theater went under an extensive restoration project by the Italian Archaeological Mission from 2009-20013 with funding from the Turkish Ministry of Culture. The beautiful stage that visitors can take in is the result of their efforts. As it stands today, the current stage is mostly the original stone pieced together with modern stabilizers and replicas of the original sculptures contained in the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum.

The ancient city of Hierapolis, 18 km north of the province of Denizli, was founded by Eumenes II, the King of Bergama in the 2nd century BC and it can be said that Telephos, the legendary founder of Bergama, named Hierapolis after his wife, Hiera. The city was continuously destroyed and rebuilt by earthquakes because it was in an earthquake prone area. However, the buildings that are standing today were built after the great earthquake in AD 60 and after that, the city was constructed with a grid plan, taking the appearance of a typical Roman city that had lost its Hellenistic character. After the Roman period, Hierapolis continued to be a very important center in the Byzantine period. The reason Hierapolis was the center of Christianity since the 4th century AD was that St. Philip, one of Jesus ' disciples, was crucified here in AD 80. Kent I.S. After the Byzantine conquest of the 4th century, an octagonal church called Martyrium was built in memory of St. Philip. Therefore, the city gained fame and it got the title “Metropolis”. The city was destroyed by the earthquake in the 7th century AD and lost its identity. It became a small town in the 12th century, then the area came under the control of the Seljuk Sultanate in the 13th century and following the earthquake in the 14 century, it was completely abandoned.
The ancient city had grid plan consisting of two monumental gates and perpendicular streets parallel to the Main Street. The Main Street, which is about 1 km long, divides the city into two and there are arcades, public buildings, shops and workshops on both sides of this street. The necropolis areas outside the city walls and on the north, south and east side of the city are the largest necropolis in Southwest Anatolia. The other significant buildings of the ancient cite are; Bath-Basilica, Latrina, Theater, Ploutonion (a shrine to the Greek god Pluto), Apollon Temple, water canals and The Nymphaeum, churches (St. Philip Martyrium, St. Philip Church) and the antique pool and the baths.
