THE ZIRAAT BANK HEADQUARTERS BUILDING

 

The Ziraat Bank Headquarters Building, which is the first official building in Ankara after the proclamation of the Republic, was built between 1926-29 and opened on November 26, 1929.

 

Reflecting the subtleties of Seljuk and Ottoman art and considered as one of the most important architectural works of its period, the building in Ulus was transformed into the Ziraat Bank Museum on November 20, 1981.

 

Restoration was started in 2017. After completing the ground improvement of the building with the jet-grouting method, the superstructure restoration works were completed and put into service in 2019.
