Atatürk House Museum in Silvan
A simple stone mansion… Yet within its walls lie the first traces of decisions that would change the fate of a nation.
The Silvan Atatürk House Museum is a historic residence where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Great Leader, stayed for a period in 1916, during his service as Commander of the 16th Corps.
Preserving its traditional architecture, this stone structure has been arranged as a museum, featuring not only the rooms where Atatürk stayed but also objects reflecting the military and civilian life of that era.
This building, now used as a museum, is a traditional Diyarbakır-style house built in the late 19th century in the Silvan District.
In 1916, Atatürk stayed here briefly before his post in Diyarbakır, conducting studies and planning military arrangements for the region.
It was restored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and opened to visitors in 2002 as the “Atatürk House Museum.”
The museum sheds light on both Atatürk’s military past and the historical memory of Silvan.
As you walk between the stone walls, you will feel not just a museum—but the footsteps of a leader who once dreamed of a united Anatolia.
After your visit, you can add nearby historical landmarks such as the Silvan Ulu Mosque and the Malabadi Bridge to your route for a day of cultural exploration.
