Atatürk Evi Museumvisitor guide.

ATATÜRK HOUSE MUSEUM While lacking a foundation inscription indicating its precise construction date, the building is believed to have been constructed in the early 1900s. Used in 1916 as headquarters of the Second Army Command, it served as the General Inspectorate building until 1938. Restored by the Gendarmerie Command in 1973, it opened to the public as the Atatürk Museum. Following comprehensive restoration by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism under the Citadel (İçkale) Project, it reopened in 2015 as the Atatürk Museum. WHILE YOU ARE HERE At the museum cafe within the precinct, enjoy basil sherbet (reyhan şerbeti) while taking in panoramic views of the magnificent Hevsel Gardens, inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 2015. You can visit the adjacent Hz. Süleyman Mosque and the Tomb of the 27 Companions. Be sure to explore Diyarbakır Grand Mosque, revered as the 5th Holy Sanctuary of the Islamic world, and savor breakfast at the historic Hasan Pasha Han directly opposite. While visiting Diyarbakır, do not leave without tasting authentic local liver kebab.
