Monument to a Secure, Confident Future, Ankara

The Güvenpark Monument, also known as the "Monument to a Secure, Confident Future," stands in close proximity to Ankara's Kizilay Square within Güven Park. This historic monument was erected in the year 1935 and features a significant message from Atatürk to his fellow countrymen: "Turk! Be proud, exert yourself diligently, and maintain faith in your abilities."

This remarkable monument was crafted by the Czech/Austrian sculptor Anton Hanak in collaboration with the architect Clemens Holzmeister. Notably, the bronze sculptures were created in Vienna, while the stone reliefs on the monument's base were crafted in Turkey. It's worth mentioning that due to the unfortunate passing of Anton Hanak on January 6, 1934, the memorial's completion in 1935 was overseen by Joseph Thorak.

In terms of its dimensions, the base of the monument stretches to 37 meters in length, with the central block measuring 8 meters, flanked by 2-meter-long side wings. Additionally, the bronze figures adorning the monument tower impressively at a height of 6 meters.
