About Ankara Castle

Yapılış tarihi kesin olarak bilinmemektedir. Kentte askeri bir garnizon bulunduran Hititler tarafından yapıldığı sanılmaktadır. Ama bu düşünce arkeolojik verilere dayanarak doğrulanmamıştır. Hititlerden bu yana hep aynı yerde bulunan, Romalılar, Bizanslılar ve Selçuklular dönemlerinde birçok kez onarılan Ankara kalesi, tepenin yüksek bölümünü kaplayan iç kale ve çevresini kuşatan dış kaleden oluşur (dış kalenin 20'ye yakın kulesi vardır).

Best Castle in Turkey

M	Mohammed ATIK on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a good place for visiting with your family, the old houses around it are different, weird, old but looks vintage, that place need more care from the government, and I think they are working for make it more better, I recommended to visit there with your family or soulmate, You will like.
T	Tala Azzam on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of my all time fav places in Ankara. Definitely worth the visit. Try visiting really early in the morning. You'll get the entire castle to yourself! Unfortunately, this year I found out they added metal side bars so you can no longer get to the top part, but its still beautiful and you get to view Ankara from above.
r	rana kabir on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Google map directions for this location is actually good! High above Ankara city with a fabulous views of the city. You can walk up from the near by square, take the shared van (if you know Turkish) or drive your car up and park free at the nearby restaurants (if you eat there) or by paying small 20TL fees. Must go place when visiting Ankara along with the nearby museum.
M	Mark Lees on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice walk up hill, but well worth it. Internal citadel not well signed and limited information. But lots left to rhe imagination and great views of Ankara
H	Hossein Sardsiri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to see the old castle and a 360 degrees panoramic views of Ankara. I walked up, from the Ataturk Statue, and came down from the opposite gate, but if you have any health issue, you can come by a car to the gate. Old hilly neighborhood and traditional shops are great to visit. Signage and tourist information could definitely be improved, especially for the international visitors. At 10 am, I was almost alone, but it gets busy soon. I wish the weather was better on the day of my visit. The photos weren't at good as it could be, considering the air pollution.
R	Richard Attoe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved my walk up to this fortress through the cobbled streets past all the lovely colourful shops. The views from the castle top are amazing. You get a 360° panoramic view over the city and I could see the snow capped mountains in the distance. Very nice well worth the walk.
S	Sa.isaround on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You can see the whole city from the castle. Moreover, you can enjoy the shops between the way. I went there on April. The weather is so lovely and great for walking
A	Abihu Haezer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is so far my favorite place to visit in Ankara. The view was stunning, the area was so well organized, and the buildings inside are well maintained. It truly feels like I'm going back in time to the old era when I got inside this castle. There are plenty of shops and even cafes or restaurants so there are a lot of things to enjoy inside this castle. The hike to the top of castle might be challenging but once you're on top, everything is going to worth your while.
