Capital status
National capital of Türkiye
Ankara is the capital of Turkey and its second-largest city, with roughly 5.3 million residents in the urban area on the central Anatolian plateau. Turkey Time (TRT, UTC+3) has been fixed year-round since 2016, when the country abolished daylight saving and adopted permanent summer time. Ankara replaced Constantinople (Istanbul) as the national capital on 13 October 1923, days before the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey, having served as the headquarters of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's independence movement. The city's roots are far older, with Hattian, Hittite, Phrygian, Galatian, Roman, and Byzantine layers; it is home to the Anıtkabir mausoleum of Atatürk and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
