Anıtkabir is the mausoleum of Atatürk, who is the leader of Turkish Independence War and revolution. ( "Anıt" means monumental and "kabir" means grave.) It is located on a hill named Anıttepe in Ankara capital city of Turkey. When Ataturk died, Turkish people wanted to show how they loved him by building a monumental grave. It is a magnificant and complex building in classic-modern style. Also, there are some museums inwhich Ataturk's belongings are displayed to visitors. Anıtkabir has a tremendous atmosphere especially in national festivals. Millions of people visit Anıtkabir and show their respect to the greatest leader. According to the website of Anıtkabir, about 13 million people visited Anıtkabir in 2007. I have visited there twice, too.
