Dardanelles Straits Naval Command Museum

At the southern end of the kordon (waterfront promenade), a park lies dotted with guns, cannons and military artifacts. Near the park entrance is this small military museum containing exhibits on the Gallipoli battles and some war relics. Museum ticket-holders can also board the replica of the Nusrat Mine-Layer, which played a significant role in the Çanakkale Naval Victory, and visit Çimenlik Kalesi (built by order of Mehmet the Conqueror in 1452) located behind the park.
