The Hittite Sun Disc Statue stands in Sıhhiye as a compact symbol of Ankara's older Anatolian identity. Its form echoes sun-disc standards found at Alacahöyük, connecting the modern capital to the Hatti and Hittite worlds represented in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
It is not a long visit, but it is a useful city marker. See it as part of a walk through central Ankara, or as a visual footnote after the museum, where the archaeological originals give the monument its meaning.
