A monument was built at the spot where that historical photograph was taken 109 years ago.

With the ‘Mustafa Kemal Road’ project, Atatürk’s role in the Gallipoli Battles will be explained.

The ‘Mustafa Kemal Road’ project, the first headquarters of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the Gallipoli Wars, located near the Bigalı village of Eceabat district in the Historical Gallipoli Peninsula, where the Gallipoli Wars took place, was revived with the work of the Gallipoli Historical Area Directorate of the Gallipoli Wars. With the ‘Mustafa Kemal Road’ project, Atatürk’s role in the Çanakkale Land Battles is explained, the battlefields are removed from closed areas and opened to visitors, and in line with historical data, visit routes are created on the road that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used in the land battles, starting from his arrival in Çanakkale, and the Historical Area is opened to the public. It is aimed to be converted into an air museum. ‘Mustafa Kemal Road’ covers the entire movement area, including the front and headquarters areas, for 289 days from 25 February 1915, when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk first stepped into Çanakkale, until the 18 March Victory. Experience the route through animations, which starts with Atatürk coming to Çanakkale on February 25, 1915 and establishing the 19th Division Headquarters in Maydos, and follows the headquarters he established in Bigalı, Kemalyeri, South of 180 Altitude Hill, South of Düztepe and Çamlıtekke. The project, which offers the opportunity to visitors, draws attention to the importance of land wars by telling the role of Mustafa Kemal in the Gallipoli wars. While special areas for children will be designed on Mustafa Kemal Road, camping areas will be created for tours with accommodation. The 17-kilometer road, on which the work has been largely completed, is planned to be opened to visitors this year.
