Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of history, this site is the very house where Head Commander Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk resided during the War of Independence. It also served as the Dumlupınar Headquarters. Thanks to meticulous restoration, the house has been returned to its original glory and opened its doors to the public on August 30, 2003.

Visiting this house is like stepping back in time. You can almost feel the weight of the decisions made within its walls. The restoration efforts have preserved not just the structure but the spirit of a pivotal moment in history. Beyond its historical significance, the house is a testament to architectural elegance, beautifully showcasing early 20th-century design. The surrounding area offers a charming glimpse into the past, with cobblestone paths and quaint local cafes where you can enjoy a cup of traditional Turkish tea.
