Speaking of Christian places of interest in Ankara, it is worth noting the ruins of the St. Clement Church. It was built on the spot where Bishop Clement was buried. Once upon a time, it was a vivid example of Byzantine architecture. Nevertheless, today there are only a few walls and a small part of the marble pillar left from the building. The church was first built at the end of the 3rd century BC. The Hammam building is another place worth visiting. This is probably one of the best spots for a walk. It is here that most of the attractions of the heart of Turkey are located. You will also find wonderful restaurants, cafes and shops where you can buy souvenirs. Hammam is the most colorful place of the capital of Turkey, which means that it is here that you can feel its “soul”.
There is a bridge whose time of construction dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. It is called Akkopru and is one place you cannot fail to visit. The bridge is one of the most interesting historical monuments in the entire region. It is located opposite Crowne Plaza, a large shopping mall. Atakule, an observation tower located in the very center of the city, allows you to climb to a height of 125 meters and look at the capital of Turkey from all angles – that is, from all 360 degrees. At this time Ankara seems so small that it can fit in your palm, but anyway it still feels openhearted, becoming even more beautiful – although such an outcome seemed impossible.
