Hidden Gems

Beyond Ankara's modern skyline lies a landscape shaped by Phrygian and Roman civilizations. This collection features Gordium, the ancient Phrygian capital, and the Great Tumulus of Midas. Within the city center, the Temple of Augustus preserves the Res Gestae Divi Augusti inscription, while the nearby Roman Baths showcase 3rd-century engineering. Further afield, the rock-cut reliefs of Gavurkale and the massive Hacıtuğrul settlement mound offer insights into the region's Iron Age and Hittite history.
