Ankara Citadel

The museum is just below Ankara's citadel, at the top of the hill, so we decided to check out the citadel.

We thought the citadel might be upscale

restaurants and cafes, but it was only a

few trinket and rug stores, and a rather

impoverished residential area



It was a rainy/cloudy day; in the distance is Ankara's big

mosque

So we decided to walk back down the hill, through the

market area

Through the bridal shoppe district,

including this new sleeveless/armless/
minimalist model that caught my attention

The spoon shop district

The pashmina district; and a huge gold district, not pictured

And finally to the bottom, with a view back up to the citadel
