Ankara Castle is a historic fortification in Ankara, Turkey, whose origins trace to the 8th century BC when the Phrygians first constructed defenses on the site. The Galatians rebuilt it in 278 BC, and successive empires—Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman—subsequently renovated and reconstructed the structure. The castle was constructed in or after the 7th century in the Byzantine architectural style, bearing witness to the city's strategic importance across multiple civilizations and eras.
