Ankara
Located in central Anatolia,
Ankara is the capital and second largest city in
Turkey.
As of
2007,
the city had an estimated population of 5,019,167.
The city was once known as "Angora", and this name
appears in:
- Angora goats are goats from the area that produce
a fine soft wool, which is known in English as "mohair".
- Angora cats
(Turkish: Ankara Kedisi)
are a unique breed of cats from the area. They have a silky
coat, and although usually known for their white color, there
are in fact many varieties including black, reddish, tabby.
- Angora wool which comes from the coat of the local Angora rabbit.
Angora wool is usually blended with sheep wool before being made into
garments.
When you visit Ankara, there are many ancient sites in the area
that you will want to see. These include Hittite, Phrygian,
ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman sites. The most
famous of these sites is the Temple of Augustus and Rome
(also known as "Monumentum Ancyranum"), which
dates back to 20 BC.
