Ankara beauties

Ankara is quite modern and ugly. But today we went to its nicest part, the old town. We had already tried once some weeks ago but we didn't succed, and also today we had some problems. It's very strange, because old Ankara is on the top of a hill and there are also some ruins. But it's the same with Ataturk's mausoleum: when you get there you think how the hell i couldn't find it?, but utill you are in front of it you don't see it. Anyway, old part has few restored steets and not much more, but the view from the top of the hill is wonderful: you see all Ankara and the surrounding mountains, and you perceive the contrast between the new neighborhoods and the few traditional areas which still resist. Really beautiful view. Just under the ruins, there is the Anatolic civilisations museum, which deserves to be seen without any doubt. All in english, it tells the history of turkish region fron the prehistoric period untill the beginning of classical period: then Ittiti, Frigi, Assiri and all other civilisations i studied at school. There were a lot of marvellous finds like sculptures and everyday life objects, and some of the first examples of writing in the mankind history. I'm still a bit moved :)
