SİVAS ATATÜRK CONGRESS AND ETNOGRAPHY MUSEUM

 

The Congress Building was built in 1897 as the Civil Administration Building.

 

The building, which was used as a headquarter for a while during the Turkish National Struggle for Independence by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his companians, gained a historical identity with the assembling of Sivas Congress here between 4-12 September 1919.

 

The building, which was used as a school until 1981, was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 1984 and turned into a museum.

 

The building, whose restoration started in 2013, was completed and put into service as a museum in 2014.
