Culture Park and monuments

Republican era · Around the tomb

A wide view of the monument ground: bronze busts ranged along two stepped wings, a stair between them and a row of flags for the Turkish states behind
The monument ground. Busts along two wings, with flags behind.

The landscaped area around the Ertuğrul Gazi Tomb. Here stand monuments representing the Turkic states founded through history and their founders; each one stands for a state.

This arrangement belongs to the Republican era and has no direct structural link to the founding period — it is a separate layer, showing how Söğüt became a symbol in the twentieth century. It is usually seen together with the tomb.

The grounds are wide and shaded; outside festival time they make for a quiet walk.

Bronze busts on granite plinths seen close up; brass plates give each state's name and dates — the nearest reads "Panu — Western Hun Empire, 48-216"
