Çankaya Palace

Çankaya Palace was the official residence and working headquarters of Turkey's president from 1923 until 2014. Located in Ankara, it served as the center of executive power and a symbol of the Turkish Republic's authority. The palace complex includes grand administrative buildings, reception halls, and living quarters, reflecting Turkish architectural styles. In 2014, the president moved to a new, more modern residence, and Çankaya Palace now functions primarily as a government office and historical site. It holds political and diplomatic significance, hosting official ceremonies and state events throughout Turkey’s history.
