Ankara is the capital city of Turkey and home to many historical sites. One of the most notable is Gordium, the former capital of ancient Phrygia. Located about 70-80 km southwest of Ankara, Gordium was strategically located at the confluence of the Sakarya and Porsuk rivers, with control over fertile land. It was an important crossroads for trade and travel between Lydia and Assyria/Babylonia. The site has evidence of occupation dating back to the Early Bronze Age and is a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
