Inspired by Mila's Istabul's skyline thread, I decided to make a thread about Ankara since we had a funny debate there about which one is better.I'm not intending to prove Ankara is better(tho to me it is  ) as Ankara is not comperable to Istanbul.Also, I wanted to mention that Ankara is the capital of Turkey, not Istanbul And the pictures                         ------------- "When one hears such music, what can one say, but ....

I'm going to ask you something a little off topic, dudes. Is Ataturk's mausoleum like Lenins mausoleum.I mean can you actualy see the body(like in Lenin's mausoleum.) or it is more like a tomb or something. Thanks. -------------

No, his body is buried in Islamic ways in a grave room, downstairs and upstairs, where the visitors come, there's a big monolithic block, symbolizing his grave.

I like the arhcitecture, it is very neo-lydian (if such a thing exists), maybe Anatolian is a better word, was it a Turkish architect or did they hire a foreigner? ------------- |

Ankara Palas was built in 1924 and was opened as the first luxury hotel in Ankara. The spectacular "Republic Balls" took place here where Iranian Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, Afghan King Amanullah, Iraqi King Faisal I., Alfred Krupp, Tito, President Eisenhower and General Montgomery are among the guests.

I wish you didn't post that artificial castle(if that is a castle) here.it's no way equal to the original one.It's more like a religious building that came out of Saudi Arabia and I believe only religious people invited inside.I hate it, it's a waste of money ------------- "When one hears such music, what can one say, but ....
