Atakule is a tower in the Çankaya district of central Ankara, Turkey. Ragıp Buluç designed it. Construction began in 1987 and lasted until 1989, and Prime Minister Turgut Özal opened it on October 13, 1989. The article does not name a client or the materials.

The tower is 410 feet (125 meters) tall to the roof. It has an open terrace, a revolving restaurant and a shopping mall at its base.

The Sevilla revolving restaurant makes one 360-degree rotation per hour. A non-revolving Dome restaurant sits beneath the cupola, and a UFO café sits under the terrace. The article does not give a street address for the tower, and it does not name a style. The tower stands in central Ankara.
