Aydın Bey’s daughter named “Nilüfer Sultan” refers to the district; It is said that the name “Sultanhisar” comes from here because it accepts it as “Hisar”.

Strabon tells that the city consists of two parts. To the West of the floodplain that divides the city into two, there is a gymnasion. There are Byzantine building remains and a library in the West52. To the West52 of the library is the theater, which has a special importance with the reliefs seen in the stage building.

We want to talk to you in Turkey from a place like no other: This charming living area was occupied by the enemy on May 27, 1919, and when the occupation escaped on September 5, 1922, the invaders destroyed the city. An ingenious idea was developed to rebuild Atça, which started to grow again with the proclamation of the Republic. It was decided to prepare a settlement plan for Atça, taking the example of Etolie Square, which will later become Charles de Gaulle, where the famous Paris Avenue Champs-Elysees intersects with other streets.
With the initiatives of Maşacızade Hafız Mehmet Efendi, who was the mayor in the first years of the Republic, a similar model was applied to Atça. In contrast to the 12 streets connecting to Etolie Square, eight symmetrical main streets at an angle of 45 degrees and hundreds of regular streets that cut them vertically are placed in Atça. Atça Park is located where the Arch of Victory is located. The settlement, where multi-storey construction is not allowed, is mostly equipped with detached houses in gardens. Finally in Turkey it designed the first and only residential units has emerged Atca.
