History

The owner of the building was Hacı Hulusi, the mayor of Silifke in 1925. During his visit to Silifke, Atatürk stayed in this house. After the death of Hacı Hulusi the house was inherited by his heirs. In 1982 however, Ministry of Culture bought the house. Following repairs the house was opened on 2 January 1987 as an Atatürk Museum.^[1]
