Karesi Atatürk Evi

Karesi Atatürk House Museum is a museum in Karesi dedicated to Turkey's first president. The building contains his personal possessions, photographs, documents, and artwork that document his life.

The house was Atatürk's residence after he returned from the Syrian Front until 1919. It was later purchased and converted into a museum to preserve his legacy.

The house displays items from Atatürk's everyday life and how he used the rooms as his home. Visitors can form a personal connection with how he lived during this period.

The museum spreads across multiple floors and can be explored at a relaxed pace. It remains open year-round, though you should expect more visitors during national holidays.

The house was purchased by Istanbul Municipality in 1928 and systematically preserved. This early effort to protect historical buildings made it one of the first institutions of its kind.
