Host City Ankara
Ankara, Türkiye's capital, is a historic city with roots dating back to ancient civilizations. Formerly known as Ancyra and Angora, it served as the capital of Galatia and later the Roman province with the same name. Positioned in central Anatolia, Ankara's urban center houses 5.1 million people, making it Turkey's second-largest city. The historic center features the remnants of Ankara Castle, offering a glimpse into its diverse past.
An integral player in Turkish history, Ankara became the political center during the establishment of the Grand National Assembly in 1920 and assumed the role of the national capital in 1923. Beyond its governmental significance, Ankara is a thriving commercial and industrial hub, strategically located at the crossroads of Turkey's transportation networks. The city seamlessly blends its historical heritage with modern vitality, symbolizing resilience and progress in the heart of Turkey.
