Alagoz Military Headquarters Museum |
|
When the Turkish army was retreating to the Sakarya Line during the Independence War, Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Ataturk set up his headquarters and directed the war from this farmhouse, decorated in typical Turkish taste. The building, once used as a military headquarters, was donated by the sons of Mahmut and Serafettin Turkoglu, the sons of Turkoglu Ali, to be used as a museum and built by the National Education Ministry. The building and its garens were restored by the ministry and ceremonially opened to visitors on November 10 1968. Today it is a branch of Anitkabir Museum and some of Ataturk's garments and weapons are also displayed. Museum Tel: (+90 312) 641 65 13 Opening days to visit: Everyday except Saturday and Sunday.
