ANITKABIR

Mausoleum: It is the most important section of Anıtkabir. The Mausoleum, which is reached by 42-step stairs from the Ceremonial Plaza, is a rectangular structure with two floors. This section became the center of gravity during the construction of the monument, because Atatürk’s tomb room and the symbolic sarcophagus are situated in this section. For this reason, the architects of Anıtkabir paid so much attention for the Mausoleum to be more magnificent than the other structures in Anıtkabir.
