Ankara, the capital of the Republic of Turkey, is strategically located in the Central Anatolian Plateau and is the political, administrative and cultural center of the country. Although Istanbul is the largest city, Ankara has replaced it as the capital since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and carries the national symbol of modern Turkey. The city has a rich history dating back to the Bronze Age and was a major town in the Hittite, Pagan, Roman and Ottoman Empires, leaving behind historical monuments such as the Roman-era Julian Column and Ankara Castle. As a transportation hub, Ankara connects the east, west, and north of Turkey. The economy is based on government services, higher education, and manufacturing, and is home to renowned institutions such as the Middle East Technical University (METU). The climate is continental, with four distinct seasons and cold, snowy winters. Ankara's blend of ancient history and modern urban dynamism makes it an important window into Turkey's politics and history.
