WHY ANKARA
The Capital
Ankara may lack Istanbul's fame, but the capital offers unique filming opportunities. The monumental Anitkabir (Ataturk's mausoleum), the ancient citadel overlooking the city, and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations — housing 10,000 years of artifacts — provide distinctive backdrops.Government and diplomatic settings, modern university campuses, and the planned city grid offer a different visual language from Istanbul's organic chaos.
