Presidential Complex of Turkey

The Presidential Complex is a government facility in Ankara with multiple buildings designed for administrative and ceremonial functions. The grounds feature offices, meeting rooms, and formal spaces arranged within landscaped gardens and courtyards.

Construction began in 2012 following a government decision to create a new presidential residence on the Gazi compound. The new facility replaced the historic Çankaya Presidential Mansion as the seat of power.

The presidential library within the grounds holds millions of books in many languages, reflecting the state's commitment to preserving knowledge and intellectual heritage. Visitors can see how collections spanning different eras and cultures have been assembled together.

Access to the site is restricted as it functions as an active government facility and is not open to the general public. Information about any authorized visits should be obtained through official channels.

A notable mosque on the grounds blends architectural elements from Seljuk and Ottoman periods with contemporary design. This building shows how historical styles have been reinterpreted in a modern setting.
