Atatürk Cultural Center (AKM), a concert hall, theatre and cultural centre running along the eastern side of the square. The construction of the bulding started in 1946, but was halted in 1953. In 1956 it resumed and the building was opened in 1969. It is definitely in the 1950–1970s modern style. In 2008 it was closed for renovations and after everything a new, similar building was constucted between 2018 and 2021. I must say, the interior of the first building was wonderful and look it up on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. (previous | next | back to album | 2022:09:11 14:20:33 | 47% of an album)
