Presidential Palace of Turkey, Official residence in Ankara, Turkey.

The Presidential Complex extends across 200,000 square meters, featuring over 1,000 rooms built with reinforced concrete, marble, and granite materials throughout the structure.

The Presidential Palace opened on October 29, 2014, during Turkey's Republic Day celebrations, marking a transition from the former Cankaya presidential palace in central Ankara.

The architectural design combines modernist elements with medieval Seljuk dynasty influences, incorporating a mosque that accommodates 3,000 people for religious services.

The complex contains Turkey's largest library with five million books, multiple conference rooms, and advanced security systems for biological, nuclear, and chemical threat detection.

During the 2016 attempted coup, the palace sustained bombing damage, leading to the construction of the 15 July Martyrs' Monument within the compound.
