Keçiören, Metropolitan district in northern Ankara, Turkey

Keçiören extends across 159 square kilometers at an elevation of 950 meters, with the Çubuk River flowing through its central section.

The name originates from Kiçivirân, meaning small ruins, and the area transformed from a green zone into a substantial district after 1950.

The district maintains strict regulations on business signage, requiring the use of Turkish language while making limited exceptions for established brand names.

The district contains three state hospitals, seven private medical centers, and numerous transportation options including buses, minibuses, and metro connections.

The Keçiören Gondola stretches 1,653 meters across the urban landscape, making it the longest city cable car system in Turkey.
