To be honest, I didn't really like it. Very few activities, nothing much to do. Half of the castle is occupied by builders, and the castle itself, although interesting, is only for about 5 minutes. In general, you can visit, but I would recommend going to the skyscraper area, there is not much to do here.
Rich and vibrant nature, great atmosphere! Zilkale is a medieval castle located in the Firtina Valley. On the Pontic Mountains. One of the most famous historical monuments in Rize province (Turkey)
The castle is located at an altitude of 750 meters from sea level on the cliff of the mountain.
From the top of the castle, you can see the entire Firtin Valley and its surroundings.
It's a good historical place. But there is no immersion in the past era. Order and content are maintained, but to a minimum. Pazar and the park on the outskirts of the fortress -
Let's be sincere. This is not a fortress. In our understanding. It's a wall. Inside, semi-residential houses with newly renovated. And a wild number of outlets with all kinds of spam. A sense of historical value... well, if only you come at 9 p.m. When everyone left. Then yes. By day, it's Sadom and Gomorrah.
It has a dominant position over Ankara and you can watch the city. But the strange people and behaviors around you make you feel unsafe here at all. I suggest that they use the appropriate price of the metropolitan municipality's parking lot for those who will leave by car, but the private parking cannibals who cut you off like terrorists right in front of that parking lot do not allow you to use this parking lot and direct you to private parking lots. Municipal employees are not happy. Some houses around the castle have been restored, but some of them are so outdated that they take a person back to B.C... I mean, I have a hard time understanding how this anachronistic terrible image can happen in the heart of the city.
Get ready to climb up for a while, but it's worth it. Very nice streets near and inside the fortress, a beautiful view of the city opens from above. The place is well maintained and clean
Ankara Castle: it offers a very beautiful panoramic view. Hal-i already have a lively neighborhood in it.
Akkale burcu: The first museum of the republican period was established here in 1921. In the meantime, the artifacts brought here have been moved to the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
The castle view is very beautiful. The restoration is beautiful. The ruined structures need to be completely cleaned up.The environment needs to be cleaned up a little more. But what is it still like to throw a water bottle of soda bottles at the cats? Unfortunately, cleaning is going to waste unless the mindset changes.
If you want to see the history of Ankara, shop in the shops under the castle,buy CD records and items that the smell of the city is on,sit down with old people and chat for tea...
One of the main attractions of Ankara, admission is free. There are souvenir shops. The inspection will not take much time. First, look at the diagram to make it clear what is what. The impressions are not unambiguous. But the views of the city are great
My land, the birthplace of my ancestors, when you go to Ankara, you should definitely see Anitkabiri and Ankara Castle. Definitely for a coffee in the cafe above the inner castle gate.
An interesting old castle, where shops and cafes are located inside, is especially beautiful view of Ankara from the observation deck. Admission is free
The place where those who go on a trip to Ankara should not return without seeing Anatolian civilizations and the museum of words, three of them are already side by side
