Museums
Balıkesir Kuva-yi Milliye Museum
National Struggle documents alongside the region’s archaeological heritage.
A closer look
Personal belongings and documents give this museum a close connection to Balıkesir’s National Struggle history. Displays about local organisation and the Balıkesir congresses provide a useful starting point, while archaeology and ethnography extend the visit into earlier periods.
Combine the former municipal building with the Clock Tower and Zağnos Pasha Mosque on a walk through the centre. Allow time for photographs and labels: they connect the surrounding historic buildings with the people who shaped the city.
