The center was opened at the Kabatepe Port on June 7, 2012 to contribute to the promotion of the spirit of the Dardanelles. Covering 11 separate display halls and a two storey-exhibition hall for war artifacts and technical infrastructure units, the center occupies an area of 8,600 m2. The center illustrates the notable events of the Battle of the Dardanelles through a simulation.
Tickets must be purchased for the 60-minute displays in the 11 diverse halls. Each session is limited to a maximum of 50 persons, and visitors are advised to make reservations before arrival as space is limited. The entrance fee is charged.
