Esztergom Castle
Rising on a hill overlooking the city in Ankara's Keçiören district, the Esztergom Turkish Cultural Center (commonly known as Esztergom Castle) is both an architectural masterpiece and a tribute to one of the most important symbols of Turkish history in Europe. Opened in 2003, this structure has become one of Ankara's most popular tourist and cultural destinations.
Esztergom Castle is a faithful replica of the original Esztergom Castle in Hungary, which was the "Westernmost fortress" of the Ottoman Empire. However, it is not just a castle; it is a huge cultural center housing a museum, restaurants, and traditional shops.
You don't necessarily need to go to Budapest to visit Esztergom Castle. If you dedicate a few hours to Keçiören during your Ankara vacation, you can have the opportunity to visit this faithful replica.
