Sivas Congress and Ethnography Museum

The three-story Ottoman architectural building houses exhibits across multiple floors, featuring historical artifacts and ethnographic collections from the Sivas region.

The building gained national importance as the meeting location for Turkish nationalists during the Sivas Congress from September 4 to 12, 1919.

The museum displays regional artifacts including Sivas carpets, traditional costumes, ancient coins, calligraphy works, and a wooden mimber from Divriği castle mosque.

Visitors can explore the congress meeting room, telegraph office, and document printing area on the upper floor of this wheelchair-accessible museum.

The structure retains the original telegraph room where crucial messages were transmitted during the Turkish independence movement in 1919.
