Victory Monument, Bronze monument in Ulus Square, Ankara, Turkey

The monument features an equestrian statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk at its center, accompanied by two soldiers and a woman carrying a cannonball.

The construction, completed in 1927, resulted from a national fundraising campaign by journalist Yunus Nadi and an international design competition won by Heinrich Krippel.

The sculpture group symbolizes the participation of both military forces and civilians during the Turkish War of Independence through carefully crafted bronze figures.

Located east of Atatürk Boulevard in central Ankara, the monument remains accessible to visitors and undergoes regular maintenance since its restoration in 2002.

The monument depicts a soldier summoning his companion to battle while another observes the front lines, presenting different aspects of military engagement.
