Ankara 0595

This building was the headquarters of the Iş Bankası or Work(ers) Bank, an important bank in the early days of the republic.

It seems to have a museum, that I failed to visit though my hotel was close. Better next time.

You say "...an important bank in the early days of the republic", but the fact is, Ýþ Bankasý is the largest private bank in Turkey. I also liked the translation "Work(ers) Bank", it fits very well, because 46% of the shares belong to a pension fund formed by the employees of the bank :)) Best regards...
