LOCAL ATTRACTIONS ************************ Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, lies in the center of Anatolia. Its history goes back to the Bronze Age, Hittite civilization. After the control of various civilizations including Phrygians, Lydians, Persians, Galatians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans, finally in 1923 it was declared as the capital of the new Turkish Republic. Today, besides the old town with its citadel, Ankara is a modern city representing the Turkish Republic. Ankara has assorted places of interest. Places of historical importance are the Ankara Citadel, the Temple of Augustus, the Roman Baths, and the Column of Julian. There are important museums with precious historical and cultural pieces: The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, the Ethnographical Museum, the Painting and Sculpture Museum, the Museum of the Republic, and Ataturk's Mausoleum. To the south of Ankara is Lake Golbasi, a popular place to visit for the attractive scenery, and the fine restaurants on the lakeside. Other attractive natural sites, especially for those who enjoy mountain air, are the Beynam Forest and Elmadag Mountain.
