Güdül, District seat in Ankara Province, Turkey.

The municipality of Güdül extends across 540 square kilometers of mountainous terrain north-west of Ankara, with temperatures ranging from -20°C in winter to 35°C in summer.

Archaeological findings in the Kirmir valley caves reveal stone works from the Hittite civilization dating to 2000 BC, followed by Phrygian, Roman, and Byzantine settlements.

Traditional houses in Güdül display regional architectural elements, while the surrounding caves contain ancient carvings including Roman-era crosses marking early Christian presence.

The district encompasses 31 neighborhoods with specific postal codes, including Adalıkuzu, Afşar, and Akbaş, all operating under the central administrative system of Turkey.

Local farmers cultivate hot peppers and chickpeas, processing the latter into leblebi, a traditional dried and roasted snack popular throughout the region.
