As a part of any cultural visit to Ankara, capital city of Turkey, you must see the historical Parliament buildings where the milestones of the Turkish Republic was first set up. In particular, this small building (now turned into a museum under the concept of Turkish Republic War) which was converted from a school to the first Parliament of Turkey tells you a lot about that era. Please be reminded that it was established during the war years, when the Republic was not announced yet and the Ottoman Sultan was still trying to rule the country from Istanbul (which was under invasion).

It is a new mosque with a very beautiful architecture. There is a big space infront of the mosque and you can take your family for a stroll there. There is an underground mall as well which is okay. Check it out, its nice. You can go in when people are not praying. There is also a section for women to pray as well.
