The Çankaya Mansion in Ankara, Turkey, holds great historical significance as it was the residence and working place of Mustafa Kemal Pasha, who later became known as Atatürk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey.
When Mustafa Kemal Pasha first arrived in Ankara in 1919, he initially used the Agricultural School and then the Station Chief’s Mansion. However, as these locations were not suitable for his work and rest, a search was made for a more suitable residence. On May 30, 1921, Ankara Municipality gifted the Çankaya Mansion to Mustafa Kemal Pasha, which had previously been used as a vineyard house. The mansion, located within a wooded area overlooking the city, became his new residence.
The Çankaya Mansion witnessed important events during the War of Independence and the early years of the Republic. One notable event took place on October 28, 1923, when Mustafa Kemal Pasha gathered with his close staff for dinner and announced that the Republic would be declared the next day. It was in this mansion that he made the historical speech marking the establishment of the Republic.
The study room in Çankaya Mansion is where Mustafa Kemal Pasha wrote the speech that described the years of struggle leading to the Republic and independence. The speech, which begins with the famous line „I went to Samsun on the 19th day of May 1919,“ holds great significance in Turkish history.
The mansion includes various rooms and areas such as the Çankaya Table, where state issues were discussed, the Ambassador Reception Hall, Zübeyde Hanım’s bedroom (Mustafa Kemal’s mother), and the lounge where billiards were played with İsmet Pasha.
Over time, the area and surroundings of the mansion became the Çankaya Mansion campus, and it was used as a residence by several presidents of Turkey. The mansion was opened to visitors in 1950 under the name Atatürk Museum Mansion and has undergone several maintenance and repair works to preserve its structure and the items inside.
In June 2021, the mansion underwent restoration and will reopen its doors to visitors on October 29th, known as Republic Day in Turkey. Visitors will be able to explore the mansion between 13.00-17.00.
