    (Translated by Google) The Julianus Column is located in the Ulus district of Ankara's Altındağ district. It is also known as the "Belkıs Minaret". A column was built in honor of the Roman Emperor Julianus passing through Ankara between 361 and 363 A. It is one of the historical artifacts that should be seen in Ankara. The building has a unique architecture. It has a height of about 15 meters. There are many rings of stones in its body. As a result of the superposition of these ring stones, the column took its present shape. However, the column appears as one piece. There is no text, figure etc. on it. does not exist. Its head is decorated with leaves. The base and body part have a very simple appearance. It is an example of the Corinthian column capital model. In time, wires were woven into the head of the monument. The reason for this was to prevent the death of the baby birds on the head. However, this situation has been criticized for damaging the structure - which I agree -. The building was restored to its original form in 2001 by the Ankara Governorship. I say see ... (Original) Julianus Sütunu, Ankara’nın Altındağ ilçesinin Ulus semtinde yer alıyor. “Belkıs Minaresi” olarak da biliniyor. Milattan sonra 361 – 363 yılları arasında Roma İmparatoru Julianus’ın Ankara’dan geçmesi şerefine sütun inşa edilmiş. Ankara’daki görülmesi gereken tarihi eserlerden bir tanesi. Yapının kendine has bir mimarisi mevcut. 15 metre kadar bir yüksekliğe sahip. Gövdesinde birçok sayıda halka taşlar yer almakta. Bu halka taşların üst üste getirilmesi neticesinde sütun bugünkü şeklini almış. Ancak sütun tek parça olarak gözükmekte. Üzerinde hiçbir yazı, şekil vs. bulunmamakta. Baş kısmı yapraklarla süslü. Kaide ve gövde kısmı oldukça sade bir görünüme sahip. Korint sütun başlığı modeline bir örnek niteliğindeymiş. Zamanla anıtın baş kısmına teller örülmüş. Bunun sebebi ise baş kısmındaki yavru kuşların düşerek ölmesini önlemekmiş. Ancak bu durum yapıya zarar verdiği gerekçesi ile oldukça eleştirilmekteymiş -ki katılıyorum-. Yapı 2001 tarihinde aslına uygun bir şekilde Ankara Valiliği tarafından restore edilmiş. Görün derim...

    (Translated by Google) Julianus Column It is located on the edge of the pool between the Office of Revenue and Governorship. There is no inscription. The body has many rings and its height is fifteen meters. It is said that the column was erected in honor of the Emperor Julianus (M.S. 361 - 363) when he passed through Ankara. IV. century, which is believed to have been made to the work of the people are also called the minaret of Belkis. (Original) Julianus Sütunu Defterdarlık ve valilik binası arasındaki havuzun kenarında bulunmaktadır. Hiçbir yazıtı yoktur. Gövdesinde birçok halka olup, yüksekliği on beş metre kadardır. Sütunun İmparator Julianus' un (M.S. 361 - 363) Ankara'dan geçtiğinde şerefine dikildiği söylenir. IV. yüzyılda yapıldığı sanılan esere halk arasında Belkıs Minaresi de denilmektedir.

    This 15-meter-tall column was built to commemorate the visit of the Roman emperor Julian, who declared war on the Persians in 362 AD, to Ankara during his expedition. It's a beautiful white column.

    (Translated by Google) The Julian Column was erected in his honor to commemorate the Roman emperor Julian's visit to Ankara in 362 AD. Local residents call the Belkıs Minaret column a name meaning "Queen of the Sebe Column". Unfortunately, no one knows why it is so named. (Original) Julian Sütunu, MS 362'de Roma imparatoru Julian'ın Ankara ziyaretini anmak için onuruna dikildi. Belkıs Minaresi sütununa yöre sakinleri "Sebe Sütunu'nun Kraliçesi" anlamına gelen bir ad verirler. Ne yazık ki, kimse neden böyle adlandırıldığını bilmiyor.

    If you are a history student you will probably like it. Otherwise if you've seen historical places it is negligible. If it's on your route it worth visiting

    (Translated by Google) A magnificent historical monument complements each other with the Temple of Augustus and the Roman Bath. The column stands in the middle of the park in Ankara Social Sciences University. You can't see it if you don't look carefully. Not enough warnings and signs (Original) Müthiş bir tarihi eser Augustus Tapınağı ve Roma Hamamı ile birbirini tamamlıyor. Sütun Ankara Sosyal Bilimler Üniversitesi içinde parkın ortasında duruyor. Dikkatlice bakmazsanız göremezsiniz. Yeterli sayıda uyarı ve tabela yok

    (Translated by Google) I searched for 25 minutes in navigation and turned and couldn't find it. No signage. Taxi drivers and the public don't know where it is. As a result of my research, I found out that it is currently closed for maintenance. (Original) 25 dakika navigasyonda arayıp döndüm durdum ve bulamadım. Tabelalarla gidilmiyor. Taksiciler ve halk nerede olduğunu bilmiyor. Araştırmam sonucu şu anlarda bakım için kapalı olduğunu öğrendim

(Original) Yüzyıllara meydan okumuş tarihi bir eserdir. Çoğu kişinin yerinden haberi yoktur ama bilenler mutlaka misafirlerine gezdirmeyi ihmal etmezler.
