It is located on a nice place across the “Victory Monument” in the centre of Afyonkarahisar and across Afyonkarahisar Castle. The building was established as a duplex by Saitoğlu Mehmet Sait Efendi before the foundation of the Republic in 1915-1920. The building has neo-classical characteristics with its general features. It is observed that the building has a typical Anatolian houses style (a big hall called middle courtyard, and beside it rooms that are opening to this hall) in terms of plan.

The building continued to serve as “Municipality Building of Afyon” until the foundation of today’s Municipality Building in 1930. Later on, the building was allocated to the “Police Headquarters” upon the completion of the new municipality building.

The building was allocated to the Commander-in-chief Historical National Park Directorate as “Victory Museum” by the National Estate Directorate, and our Directorate owned the building on 11 September 1986.

Our Directorate moved to this building in 1992. The importance of this building, in which the decoration and restoration works are still being carried out, is that it belongs to a period (1919-1922) when a whole nation struggled for life and death and that Mustafa Kemal, the Commander-in-chief; İsmet İnönü, the Commander of Western Front; Fevzi Çakmak, the Chief of the General Staff; and Tevfik Bıyıklıoğlu, the Chief of Western Front Actions Office all stayed in this historical building and used here as headquarters upon the liberation of Afyonkarahisar from the occupation of the enemies on August 27th, 1922.
